Default Want my Firenza preping and painting, recommendations??

As title, need recommendations for someone who can prep and paint my Firenza at a reasonable price and not take forever doing the job. I want first hand experiance rather than hearsay (been there before ).

I would use the guy that did my Sierra but he's very slow! Anyone in that game that wants their engine rebuilt or something like that? haha..

The body is rust free and only has a couple of minor parking dents, the worst bit is the n/s 1/4 as that has a ripple when look at it in the light.



Tunnel and bulkhead need priming and painting too...

Theres a place near me ( Stourbridge ) that does amazing resto's alongside premium car insurance repairs that I went to look round a number of times when I was looking to have my old car repainted. They also did a bare metal job on my mates car which is superb still after about 8 years.

Danny, distance isn't any issue whatsoever to me. Pm me an idea of cost if you like, want it done in a metalic colour. Interior will be completely trimmed so only needs priming and misting over with colour. Engine bay obviously needs painting too.... I'd take care of the underside.

Is Karl @ NMS still doing paint? Seen a couple they've done including an S2 that had a better finish on the underside than many cars on top!
