I am looking for anyone who can recommend a good car painter in the South Essex area. :)

I want to get the side skirts etc. colour coded on a classic scoob MY99 and look at the possibility of hiding/fixing some nasty stone chips http://smilies.crowd9.com/contrib/lynx/reddisgust.gif on the bonnet.

Any ideas?

Any indication of what sort of cost I would/should be looking at for the colour coding etc. would be nice too :D

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Okay....forget the South Essex bit and the recommendations.

Can ANYONE give me an idea of how much the colour coding is likely to cost?

Why dont you have a go at colour coding the skirts yourself.
I did my own about 6 months ago and it wasnt a difficult job.
The skirts are only bolted on underneath.
Once they are off, give them a real good wash down and then wipe
them down with thinners to get off the last of any old polish.
Give them a rub down with wet and dry to give a key.
Give loads of fine coats of plastic primer.
Then give loads of coats of your top coat:D:D:D
You can get the paint made up at your local halfords.
Its worth a go.
You have got nothing to loose.

And when you look at the finished job, you can think I did that:D

hmmm...interesting thought.

I haven't tried alot of automotive parts painting....not sure I trust myself to not f**k it up. :D

Thanks for the idea though....if I get really desperate I might give it a go.
