Question

As the title says.

I'm looking for somewhere in west lothian or Edinburgh area that can do a reasonably cheap touch up. Some gimp of a bus driver decided to put a few scrapes into my car [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

It's a ford, so i imagine the paint should be pretty cheap?

Anyone know anybody that's good & cheap?

Cheers!

If you go to their price list page:

http://www.xtccustomcars.com/pricelist.htm

Is that for painting a whole bonnet/bumper/whatever? Sounds v cheap if it is!

The XTC Number seems to put me through to a Fax, and that's the number they give on their website. I'll have to try the mobile

Thanks for the suggestions!
