Front end respray in North East?

[B15TT0]

Would like to get the stonechips on the nose of my GT3 touched up and was wondering if anyone could recommend a suitably high quality firm around the Newcastle area where I could get it done?

I don't want to take it to Porsche Silverlink just for them to take it to somewhere else and add on x%.

Cheers,

Chris

I've heard some very good things about Heaton Coachworks. I beleive Stu R got some work on hisSkyline done there so maybe worth chatting to him.

Steve Watson Coachworks in Boldon is used by most of the local Mercedes Benz Dealers and is very good. Pool resprays in Hartlepool (bit further south of you though) is very good too and very well equipped.

Porsche use Bill Heaneys bodyshop in Byker if you want to go direct but they wanted my eyes out last year. £550 for refresh of the stone chips on the front of the car at £54 per hour labour!!!

Heaton Park Coachworks would be my reccomendation too. Yeah Stu R did get his skyline done there.

Agree that Heaton Coachworks are good, but CHUFFING expensive

I had my front bumper resprayed at Tyneside Coachworks (next to the Fed Brewery in Dunston) last year and they were spot on. They said they had put on a couple of extra layers of paint as well as laquer to try and reduce the stone chips (why it went there in the first place) - must say so far so good.
