Damaged paintwork help please

[Miss Trinity]

I backed into some railing today, the damage in about the size if two thumb nails but down to the aluminium on the rear of habitation body. How best should i fix this. Is it simply a case of touch-up paint or maybe a repairer like atone chip. What do others do in this situation. Most annoyed but could have been worse. Advise appreciated holly =",'=

A Mobile Chips Away guy may be able to sort that out for you
or some other smart repair specialist google is the place to look for your area
last resort Body/Paint Shop

a smart repairer would be the best option

Just get it covered as soon as poss with a touch up matched to your vehicle before oxidising can occur lifting the surrounding wound.

As above, but tape a piece of plastic bag over the area to keep water and dirt out rather than painting.
It will make it easier, with less preparation work, for a proper repair to be done later

Do you regularly get dents in your van? I’ll be looking out for you on the roads then!

Most of us are good at our own trades - but if it’s not making invisible repairs to a motorhome bodywork leave it to the experts who carry out this type of work daily. Make it very clear at the assessment stage that if you can see it’s been repaired they will not get paid. Always worked for me.

Hi, have you tried PJ Rhodes, they have a place in Acocks Green near the station, only a couple of minutes off the Swan roundabout and I think another place in Sutton Coldfield, they do minor motorhome scratches.

A week ago I saw a neighbour's car being worked on by these guys:
Broken Link Removed
I walked over to ask if he'd take a look at my m/h. I had a similar area on the front bumper where I had just nudged a concrete post. He came round and repaired it next day - did a great job. Very good.

P. S. Although based in Shirley they are mobile.
