#1 Recommended resprayer in Gloucestershire area?

Post by Ted Stevens » Tue Nov 29, 2016 11:14 am

I have a 64 Roadster, in pretty good condition but there's now a little 'pitting' appearing in a few places (she's painted in Old English White). She was restored about 20 years ago, and there's now a subtle (but noticeable) colour difference between the back (still the original paintwork) and the front end (resprayed as part of the restoration). Some of the chromework is also looking a bit tired. Can anyone recommend someone in or near Gloucestershire to sort it out? I don't think it merits a full back-to-bare-metal respray, but I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts. What sort of rough costs might this involve? Thanks

Ted, I'm guessing it might be best to let someone in the know look at your car in case the dreaded Tinworm is hiding under the paint. You might find that a re-spray may end up only hiding lurking demons.

If you look here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9760 you'll see suggestions to costs. With a fair amount of the cost being the labour involved in preparation, flatting off, etc.
