Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the Norwich area for a front end respray on a Ferrari 360 please? Had ridiculous sums quoted by main dealer bodyshops - you'd have thought they would have been desparate for the business in the current climate.

Try Stratton Motor Company in Long Stratton.

They are Aston Martin, Lotus and Morgan main dealers, however theie paintshop will tackle any vehicle.
Dad has his Aston's bumper and side skirts resprayed last year. When the quality control wasn't 100% happy with the finish, they had to redo it. OK we got it back 3 days late, but they didn't want to give it back unless it was perfect.
I can't remember the exact cost....HOWEVER, I've just got a quote to repair front end stone chips and associated dent on the bonnet. While Robinsons Audi bodyshop quoted me £760 for the repair, SMC have quoted £320!

Either that or I can thoroughly recommend speaking to Louis at The Bodycentre who are just off Vulcan Road and next door to Delmonte recovery....they have done some work for us and I have been impressed with the results.
Due to being in the detailing business, I have seen the results of a lot of 'professional' resprays and have then had to refinish them.....Bodycentre seem to be the only one in the area which I havent seen any poor repairs.

I've always used RJM Body Repair Ltd, in Fornham St. Martin. Bit further out but Robin is the only bloke I'd trust with my car. 01284 702224.

Try "Painted that"....do not know the exact address, but they are behind the Jet petrol station on the road from the Dereham end of the A47 into town. They do a lot of commercial painting for us, but do anything, and will be painting my TVR when the time is right ie when I have the money. Everything they have done for us has been excellent, and reasonably priced.

If you use them, I would certainly thoroughly check every detail of the car once it's completed!
Also, don't expect it back in time.
