Hi, the Guy(s) is called Chris/Lee and his Co. is Spray Care 01639-881992/ 07931421139 , not sure what facilties he's got now but the in-laws and friends of theirs reckon he's good......failing that there was a Guy in Neath Abbey - turn left as you head towards Skewen (from Tesco end) where Watts Tyres was and then turn left where the "factory" type units are, he was based in and around there, I took my old car there, which had what looked like a nasty scratch/scuff and he just buffed it off ! could hardly tell it had happened and he didn't charge me a bean !! he may be worth a looksy.......IF still there............Good Luck

Would'nt go down the cheapest route if you want the repair to last, a quick filler repair will look great for a while but probably wont last more than a few months,i would recomend the job gets done rite first time, may cost abit more but better than paying twice, would help if you put some pic's up of the affected area's and i can recomend what i would do, ive worked in a bridgend bodyshop for almost 20yrs
