Default Who do you trust for your Spray painting!!??

Hello my fellow SES'rs...

Just though I'd cast the net out and see who you guys use for your spraying?

I'm in Sussex and will likely need some spray work done in the nearish future so interested particularly in local companies or individuals

Cheers

I have always used Fairlight coachworks in Peacehaven. I have known Terry and Scott for 20 odd years, and they are spot on. They do alot of nice cars and alot of specialist classic stuff too.

I used Tangowayne on here for a few bits last year (bootlid, STI spoiler, splitter). Good job and price

Don't think he tackles bigger jobs (full sprays etc).

I had mine done by Dukes Motors just outside Bognor.

I've also had bits done by totalpaintworks in Littlehampton

Guys thanks for the feedback - looks like a few good local options. The bits I'm getting are bumper and V6 spoiler and need a good colour match to keep my Reddish Blue Gal looking good!

I rang Washington Coachworks as they have a superb reputation and the rough over-the-phone quote and it came out to £430 + vat. I'm pretty sure that quote can beaten....

There's a place in Worthing called Reflections, one man band business, quoted me £150 per panel, didn't get the work done in the end so don't know what his work is like but didn't think the price was that bad.

I had a bit of a knock in the snow a few weeks back......



I ended up taking the car to Canada Coachworks in Byfleet in the end, and I have to say Jamie and Bob are top guys! Proper know there stuff and from the line of high end motors they had in there you know there good! Plus there customer service is an another league!!

(Thanks to everyone who gave me the recommendations!)

Here is the end result....









Might be a bit far for you but would definitely recommend, they normaly do Bentleys, porsches, Mercedes etc.....Very good price as well!!

I am really impressed with the result and the service I recivied and as such I'm going back shortly to have some other bits done.

I use my old School mate who has his own business called reflections in Worthing. Done a few bits for me and always been spot on. Seen a few of his other jobs which were brilliant too.
