Question

I suppose I better get the finger out and get the back bumper painted as it still has a massive scratch where some idiot in a car park bumped into it

I therefore need a relatively local spray painter that will do a good job (i.e. perfect colour match, etc) and hopefully at a good price.

Anyone know someone that can do the job or anyone with a spray painting granny that fancies a homer?

Its a DBM MY99 if thats of any concern

There are two in Bathgate I'd recommend, Steve Walkers Bodyshop - he did a couple of jobs for me on previous motors and his work is excellent, don't know if he still does repairs like this as he's really busy with some dealer work now, failing that Colours bodyshop, its a guy who used to work with SWB and now runs his own place, does a lot of custom work etc and his prices are good from what I hear. There was also a really good one in edinburgh itself but I can't remember the names it's two brothers that run it they get good reports. I don't recommend Calder Coach Craft their work is a bit iffy.

There's a guy at work who does a lot of this kinda stuff. I'll ask him.

He makes a good job.

Protek in Bathgate. I've had 3 or 4 jobs done by them over the years, including pearl paint with funny undercoats. _Always_ a perfect job at a good price.

Saxo Boy, I'd go for S P Cars too. I know you're down that way a fair bit so they'd be handy.

My dads place in Haddington use them for all our work. Very good job and good prices too.
