I need my Chim and Tuscan respraying, ideally not too far from Surrey. Has anyone got any good numbers for decent and reasonably priced spray shops? Perhaps one which will do a buy one get one free discount?? biggrin

yes I can endorse Gary from BeeGee, he has done a couple of jobs for me, matched the paint perfectly.

+1 they have done some lovely work on mine - Lee spent several hours and several mock spray ups for me as I wanted a very slight change to the Starmist Blue - and it's brilliant!

Different blue or alteration to the starmist blue match? The former could cost you 5mph or 0.2secs 0-60, Mark!

These guys are nothing short of excellent, but very deep pockets required! They are used to doing insurance work so money no object! Just to give you an idea, i was quoted approx £1000 for my bootlid alone..!!

My dad has his ultima sprayed there and the result was awesome smile

With paint i think you get what you pay for, bearing in mind its all in the prep work!

Liphook Coachworks repaired my Chim and gave it a full respray for 3k. I thought this wasn't bad considering I was quoted 8k by an ex-TVR main dealer for doing the same work.

After much deliberation it is the same starmist blue but sprayed from a different angle so the mica lays flatter, in certain light there is a real hue of purple.

Flatter mica means less resistance and so better performance wink although hopefully soon performance won't be an issue wink

Mark, did you get a total respray? If so could you PM me how much it set you back?

I want mine done before LMC. It currently already looks quite purple so I am keen to hold on to that look. Liphook may gat the business on the strength of their experience with yours.

I have a summer of projects in mind - seat retrim, carpets, iPod dock/rear speakers. Carl B for the latter, but any recommendations for local trimmers?
