Hi

Body and Paint out behind Brands on the Fawkham/ Paddock road. They sprayed my RS and their workmanship was to a very high standard. They do all of Cooper BMW's work just to give you an idea....

But they are not the cheapest....

Another vote for these guys, excellent work. Other than Coopers, they seem to do all of the local Ferraris too.

There's a guy near the rear entrance to brands who does all of Foskers Ferraris.

He's done a few for me and specialised more on the one offs.

Superb quality and I am a fussy bugger.

I know a fantastic body/sprayer guy based near Meopham - 10 minutes from Brands Hatch. He is superb and very reasonable. I also know another guy same area, cheaper, depends how good a job you want. PM me if you want their details.

lol he does a good job but inspect his work 100%. He sprayed my Mums car door the wrong colour (slightly off) and instead of offering to fix it he said he'd paint the whole car that colour. we kindly declined lol

Another for Motorcare.

Sorry to hear about your poor car martinxx - but I'm sure it's now returned to its full glory. Colin was saying that a lot of peeps are trading their Porsche's in for the GTR. That's definitely a car on my wishlist for the future.

Just to close this off. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Car went to Gary at Chappells, really pleased with the results. His team did more than they said they would, and the finish is spot on.

I'd have no problem recommending them for paint and body work.

Price was keen as well.

Some lucky bugger is having their Ultima painted there at the moment...... not that I'm at all jealous.....
