Paint shop advice

[Hongkongfooi]

Ive found a company in Eastbourne that have quoted a fantastic price to respray the front of my car and blend in back to the front doors, getting rid of stone chips and a small amount of bubbling on one of the wings near a headlight

Are there any questions regarding how many coats of paint and lacquer there should be? Etc etc

Is there an industry minimum?

when spraying met paint,it takes as many coats as it takes to cover and then blend out or till it looks right.as for lacquer i put 4 to 5 coats on but i do flat and polish the paint up.hope this helps you.tangowayne.

Hi, did you get the front of your car sprayed?

I wouldn't use anyone that quotes a 'fantastic price' paintwork costs what it costs.
BW or DC coachworks in Hastings
BW have done alot of work for Nige years ago when he ran Hot Hatch and also done some very good work on Rob's brothers Porsche's and Wez's scoob.
DC done a good job on 'E's but you will pay more at DC then BW (as I think he can be persuaded to do a cash job). Both are 200 yds from one another so worth popping into both.

Thanks for the advice.My car has lots of small stone chips on the front and wings and need some advice on the best way forward.

DC Coachworks are very good but may not be the cheapest, they are obviously competitive.

Ive always believed you only gets what you pay for.
