Hello everyone in Sunny Norn Iron.

The DOE has been left the roads in Newtownabbey lookin really rough lately and round where i live has been left with loose chippings. I cant understand why other cars feel the need to drive normally ffs!!! :furious:

Im getting really sick of the stone chips on the front of my Clio and the Autoglym polish is makin them look alot worse :( Can anyone recommend a good painter around the Belfast area?

Cheers

Hello there... i can recommend T.Stitt accident repairs in islandmagee.. the mans a genius with body work and painting.. not cheap though and always busy so you need to wait a wee while but its well worth it..

Hi

I gather that you need a good job on a Renault Clio.

If you want a really good standard at a very fair price then give Sam McMahon at Warrenpoint Body Repairs a call. It's easy to get a good finish if you pay a high price but it's not so easy to get a good finish for a moderate price - Sam's Yer Man!

Avoid all those over-priced Prima Donnas out there at all costs - a tradesman who thinks he's better than his customers should be well and truly booted up his jacksey.

Stitt is certainly not a prima donna, nor does he think he is better than his customers, i don't see how you read that into what i said, he is simply not "bargin basement" material...

Hi DavyCosworth

You've misunderstood me. My comments weren't directed at you or anyone else in particular. It was general advice based on my experiences over many years of restoring cars. I have no experience of Mr Stitt's work.

There's no need to pay inflated prices to tradesmen with inflated egos - there're no black arts or superhuman skills required to produce a good finish - it's all down to preparation and some elbow grease.

I dont know either painter, but I'm sure you will agree, if you really do want a good job done, you will pay whatever needs to be paid, ego or no ego.

Good painters/bodyshops ARE hard to find....

No idea when that is, but at the minute...this years upgrades are still ongoing, so it isnt on the road just yet, and ironically, some of the work needing done is a bit of painting lol

It will not be left to anyone thats going to take ages over it. Job must be half decent, and the car on their premesis for the minimum time required to complete the job..

I have used Rankin Cook in Lisburn to do any paintwork I have needed and his work is excellent. He might not be as cheap as some but it will be perfect when you get it back. I think their number is 92 674402

Anyone know of a good sprayer around Belfast who's not to hard to pay

Thanks

[stevieturbo]

I guess a lot also depends on how much you are wanting done....

I got a couple of bits done recently by a friend, who can do moveable items a a homer...he does a great job.

If its fixed to the car and cant easily be removed...he cant really accomodate that

Its stone chips and a bit of rust round the wheel arches.
