I want to get my front bumper re painted on my M5 due to stone chips , i've used a few bodyshops in the area for paintwork on a few cars over the years but never been impressed with any of them. Can anyone recommend somewhere not too far from Herne Bay ?

Cheers Simon.

Ash down at Black Market Hotrods www.blackmarkethotrods.com did some paint on a concourse E-Type recently. Give him a shout and tell him I sent you.

You could try TPK in Alexandra Road, Margate. They did some good work on my old car once, friendly and helpful too.

Wouldnt go with Chris Riches at all mate, Ive had work done by them through the insurance, needless to say, the cars went back to have problems rectified

Ive used Birchington Auto Repairs in Broadstairs (no, I havn't made a typo there)
They have done work on my cars, and I was more than happy with it, they arent the cheapest, but you get what you pay for

Was it that bad simon, they done a job for me recently on a range rover for me, the color match was spot on and my fussy customer was happy, bad work may have been down to staff members at the time ? i dunno mate.
Anyway how are you ?

Hello Dennis mate, Im fine thanks, how are you?
They did some repair work on my other halfs old Punto, and within a month it was rusty and the paint was flaking off! Also did some work on another Corrado we had, and that was far from perfect too, the paint was very very soft when the car was picked up.

Ive got the other halfs Corrado G60 to get some paintwork done on, so Im going back to Birchington auto repairs as they did an exellent job on my Jetta when it was vandalised
