Hi all. I’m slowly getting to the stage of needing someone to paint my Fiberfab Jamaican. Fibreglass bodywork not in good condition, so I need someone who really knows what they’re doing. Glasgow/ west of Scotland preferably, and hopefully not to dear. Maybe those 2 things are mutually exclusive!
I’ve still got a bit to do, but I’d like to speak to someone sooner than later

Protek in Bathgate have a good reputation and have done a number of Lotus's so know how to paint glassfibre.

I tried to find someone locally(ish) to repaint a TVR a couple of years ago but no one wanted to touch a f/g car.
It's sold now but wouldn't mind someone repainting the roof of my Excel.....

I’m getting that impression from most of the bodyshops I’ve been speaking to.

Quoted 5k by a local garage if I remove and refit everything myself, they haven’t even seen the car

Thanks all. From TVR recommendations I went to visit RM bodywork’s in East Kilbride. Seem keen and competent, so I’ll drag the Fiberfab along to them for assessment. They would take it in at the end of the year, so that would give me time to do what I have to do
