Anyone used any spray shops in Northamptonshire?
 
My scoob is mica blue (95H) and i've almost given up looking for used parts now. Nothing ever seems to come up in my colour. Wish i had a rally blue one!! haha

So i've been looking for paint shops in the Northamptonshire area but its very hard to find reviews etc.

Hopefully someone can help me :thumb:

Fantastic! Thanks very much Zohan. Thats not too far from me.

I've waited so long for a new spoiler!!

Thanks again

The Zohan 11 October 2011 11:12 AM

STOP! - Just spoken to Dave who owns CMC and they have stopped doing panel and paint - i asked him who he would recommend/use and he said Mend A Bend.

Dave is one of the most stand up blokes i know and if he recommends them then i would not hesitate to use them.

Ok thanks, i was just looking at their site and wondering why i couldn't find the paint section!! :wonder:

I will take a look at the other place now.

Thanks for all your help :thumb:

These guys are top notch, subaru recommended them to me (they do all subaru's body work). They did my STI spoiler and window spoiler. I would recommend them

mybugeye 11 October 2011 12:09 PM

Thanks GezP!

If you dont mind me asking, how much should it cost for a an sti spoiler?

Im still unsure whether to buy an aftermarket one ready for paint or a genuine 2nd hand one that would need stripping and painting.

GezP 11 October 2011 12:30 PM

I think I paid about £350ish (could be wrong) which included a little prep.

As long as you pay for them to prep the aftermarket spoiler, it will look good. Ignore the fact they come primed, they still need work.

Best thing is to call them, Paul is the owner and Julian is his top man. They will advice on stripping etc.

Genuine spoilers will be better quality.

Do any of the above paint shops offer paintless dent removal? I've got two very small but very annoying car park dings that I want taken out but i'm very careful about who I let loose on my car.

Sorry for hijack and being 'half' off topic...

But can anyone recommend a very good rep. professional bodywork/paint shop (but NOT mobiles like Chips Away, etc.) in the Leicester area, too?

I don't know if this helps, give subaru a call. They normally outsource their bodywork. If they use another bodyshop, they should be a good one

Know a chap called Andy. He is mobile and is from rushden but will come out to Northants maybe further. He does all Aston martins work. He charges £30 a panel. When the sods walked all over my roof still only cost me £30. Also my nozzle came off my jetwash and fired into the bonnet and dented it and a dink in door still only charged me 30. Honestly best dent guy you will ever come across.

I might have to give this guy a call too!! Bonus! Cheers :D

t16mbo 12 October 2011 04:56 PM

No worries.
Also had a dent on our transit sport side door on a crease and he pulled it out. £20 happy days.

Thanks for that i will file that away until i need someone.:)

MicaDan 13 October 2011 03:22 PM

Well Andy has just been and I can highly reccomend him!! His work is fantastic!! Very, very pleased and extremely cheap!! :thumb:

joz8968 13 October 2011 03:56 PM

Anyone know if this Andy would come to Leic. to do work? :wonder:

...I could offer a bit more than his going rate to make it his worthwhile... :norty:

But does he only do PDR though? Will he do conventional rubbing/filling/sanding/painting work too?

Well he was at Buckingham this morning, so I should think he'd travel. It's worth giving him a call. He only does PDR (He actually specialises in steel, aluminium and magnesium!), but knows good people that he would reccomend for other bodywork needs.

He is VERY good at his job though and does ALL of Aston Martin's work for them, including multi-million pound prototypes and classics! :luvlove:
