I feel your pain Arcee. For the past month, I've been being treated for a combination of viral infection, digestive fungal infection, digestive bacterial infection and digestive parasitic infection. Looks like everything but the fungal infection has been mostly cleared up, but I just got hit with more expenses I wasn't counting on, that and the treatment leaves me feeling drained alot of the time.
Sounds like things haven't been a lot of fun man. :(Quote:

FRAK!!!!
Due to someone parking awkwardly at my unit block and me trying to maneuver around them in a very narrow drive way, I ended up scratching the rear left door of my car in a brick wall corner!!
I tried applying that polish that you get when you buy the car and it ended up making it worse by dulling the whole paint job!! DAMN!!!
Thankfully the damage is to the paint alone so the door itself is ok. I am hoping to go to Auto Cheap Auto tomorrow morning and buying matching spray paint.
Due to the stupid polish I will need to spray a larger area than the actual scratch so if anyone with such experience has any tips for me, that would be appreciated.
It depends on how 'clean' you want it to look kup. If you're obsessed like I am, I would get the whole panel resprayed because no matter how good you are with the touch-up job, you will notice it.
I've used Dural Prestige Smash Repairs before and would recommend them. For a door panel (and depending on the type of paint required), you're looking at about $200-$300.
LOL im sorry i just read that part and laughed as a spray painter i find it highly amusing that you will buy "matching spray paint"Quote:

depending how deep the scratches are you might be able to clean most of the marks of with thinners, have had plenty of cars at work where a panel was down to paint because of some scratches and all i ended up doing was cleaning it with thinners and a polish afterwards and presto no scratches!!!
Thanks for your advise guys.

I then went to another not far (by car) and they quoted me $350-$400 which is much more reasonable. He also offered to do more work to smooth it out and had a closer look at the door than the previous guy.
I don't understand why there is such huge price discrepancy.
how much for a fender or bumper fix (paint)? paintless dent removal? (with Dural)
well the idea of getting the paint from auto cheap and it acutally matching, you might luck out but alot of colours need matching after the paint has been made up from the computer.Quote:

In saying that though toyotas are usually pretty good.
There will actually be a colour code on the compliance plate. It will be better to see if a panel beater can make you up a pot of matching paint.Quote:

I wish it was always that easy; as you predicted, they didn't have the color of my current car.Quote:

Figure its time to get this TV replaced, but as I call JB Hi-Fi asking them about their return policies the TV suddenly starts working again.
It better stay that damn way, and would anyone have any idea what is going on with it?
What was she doing when she turned it on? Was it on normal television, trying to watch a DVD/Blu-Ray, etc?Quote:

I've used Soniq products before. They last for about year then die. :p Ah well... they are very cheap. ;) (ya get what ya pay for)
About 2 hours beforehand she was watching the TV with a DVD Player plugged in. She then went to use the telephone, turned off the TV and DVD Player at the same time.Quote:

We turned off the DVD player, tried turning it off and on again, and still, no display. I even moved the TV's plug to another port on a switchboard that has 3 other vacant ports and still, display was gone.
Then suddenly about 2 days later I just turned it on with the remote when calling JB Hi-Fi and it starts to work all over again. Next time this happens though, we're exchanging it.
So I guess I'm expecting to exchange my sister's TV soon in the future as well...Quote:

Wonder if they'll be kind enough to refund my money, they don't seem to have a problem accepting it! :rolleyes:

um have you been living under a rock as hotcross buns and easter eggs come out every year just after new years and if you you dont want them dont buy them.:mad: sorry about the rant but i get sick of people especially customers whinging over trivial stuff like that when i am working.Quote:

um i get paid to put fruit and vegetable on show, if you don't like hot cross buns being sold now, you have the option of shopping somewhere else and you didn't address the fact that hot cross buns have been sold just after new years for the 20 years i have been working in retail so i don't know why you are whining about it now and i am allowed to whine here about idiot customers it is my right as it is a venting thread isn't it.Quote:
