I have recently bought a TVR 350i which while brilliant underneath has some defects to most panels. From a small scratch on a door, another on a front wing, a tea plate size crazing star on the bonnet, wee ding on the front spoiler and what looks like brake fluid splatter on the rear wing. And a little bit of osmosis on the mirrors.
To be honest it needs a respray, it's a gold metallic (clear over base probably) I have an ICI paint code for it.
It also wants the windscreen renewing as its delaminating and it would be best to get that done at the same time.
Can anyone recommend a paintshop who would tackle fibreglass resprays? I'm in Oban so somewhere that I can take it and get public transport back would be an advantage.
Thanks in advance

I pass JRM occasionally, and don't recall it looking closed up - I'll try to remember to look more closely next time I am near.

I've used Willowbrae Coachworks c 8 years ago and they seemed to do a decent job, but it would mean a longer bus trip from Edinburgh Waverley.

I've seen some of their work up close and I wouldn't use them to paint a wing mirror but each to there own
