I need to get the Cobra re-sprayed, but I really need to get it done by someone who knows about fibreglass. The paint has bubbled a little in a few areas, this has happened twice now. Once after the original paint work and now its happened again after a re-spray. I've been told it needs to be stripped, baked, then painted and baked again.

So anyone know a really really good painter in Norwich that can help me out?
thanks
Phil

If you still require somewhere but happy to travel outside of norwich, I can't recommend Roy Humphries (on the A140) highly enough.

They have done a few classic Lotus' for people in my dads club. The best bit is they don't bake the fibreglass (which can lead to stress fractures through less flex) they put it in a wind tunnel for 48 hours with the air passing over it and it still takes the moisture out of the fibreglass. This means no more orange peeling smile

Very clever stuff!

Considering everything I do is fibreglass, I never bake them, causes too many issues, done a few Cobras, TVRs, Corvettes, no worries.....

As for a recommendation... AVPM on the Rackheath Industrial Estate 01603722100 ask for Ivan
