Looking for some advice:

I've got a 1989 mini Mayfair. It's been painted before a few years back and the job wasn't the best and it's starting to chip/flake off in places.

It ideally needs a full exterior (engine bay and door shuts are fine) respray, it's currently Old English White which I'd like to retain.

Luckily the shell is solid and there's pretty much no rust so should be an easy job, and the roof paint is fine so won't need done.

Does anyone know what I should expect to pay for this? And if there is anyone near Edinburgh you'd recommend?

Don't know about cost, but Prestige Car Bodies in Cockenzie did a lovely job painting my orange Focus bonnet a couple of years ago (not easy to paint), and they specilise in classics. http://www.prestigecarbodies.com/

JRM Coachworks near Murrayfield did a great job welding and painting my MX5 last year. Give them a ring.

I've used Dunwell Coachworks just off Leith Walk several times, once to fix a nasty dent on the door in my Mica Blue WRX, they resprayed the entire side of the car to bled the colour nicely and the result was as new. Recently I used them again to weld and respray rear arches and peeling front bumper in another car and again I'm really happy with the results.

Never found anyone cheaper, better or more straight up than Gary Mason. Give him a call on 07906 016145 - tell him Lewis Anderson (Ferrari 360) sent you. Located on Lower Gilmore Place.

Edgefield Coachworks, Loanhead; have done a lot of work for me both personal and business. Excellent standard of workmanship, a full respray is doors, mirrors off - basically done properly.
