Jumper, thanks for the tip
I see they do rim repairs as well. My CLK has some nasty road rash on the summer alloys so I'm taking them over to Frank this afternoon (just got off the phone from him). I'll let you know how it goes.

No problem. They pretty much can do anything.
I was able to recover from this.

Well, I not too concern about body work, I know the people at Collision Network pretty well.
I need some one that can repair paint demage from stone chips without repainting the entire hood or front fender panel. I'm not talking about touching up either, I can do that myself. I'll give Frank a call soon. Thanks

Ouch! Happy to see the repair went so well.

I did get up to see Frank last night. Tiny shop, but very nice guy, seems like a real craftsman with a lot of pride in his work - mostly word of mouth sales. Apparently he has done a lot of work for Porsche, Mercedes and BMW.

I talked to him about paint chips and he does this work as well. If it's not too big he said he can fill it in by hand and once it has cured for a couple of weeks if you swing back he'll buff it out.

Thought I would do a follow-up on the end result.

Took my CLK summer rims in to Frank as noted ... they were pretty nasty (from the prior owner - honest!). Lots of rim rash, nicks and wacks, and one wheel in particular had a huge gash down one of the spokes - can't figure out how that would have even happened.

Just got them back from Frank. They are virtually flawless, no way to tell where even the nastiest bits were ... an amazing repair and refinish. They look new off the shelf. I couldn't be happier. $800 for all 4.

Thanks a bunch for the great tip He did remember your C4S.

Glad to hear it worked out. I will probably need mine done by the end of the summer. I don't have road rash just scratches where the paint has chipped off.
