The time has come to have my motor painted.shes a old 320i with a s50 b30 nestling in her and have just completed the collection of tech 2 bits and bobs to make it look nice.she needs a lash before i start on the interior and before she rots away!

work wise im looking for a colour change from a girly grey/blue to just grey (a citroen colour to be exact :o: ).I need it done inside and out and the kit fitting and the odd dent removing.

im writing this to ask if anyone knows an excellent prepper and painter preferably in the north east but im willing to travel for the right job.im not on a tight budget but wont be paying ridiculous money for a poor job.

any help greatly appreciated

All you need to know is Matt's phone number the rest will take care of itself. Non one will do a better job. His wagon is his work. No better advert

It's all in the prep to let a good painter do his thing :wink:

To get an idea of proper costing have a read of Simon 13's thread in the photo gallery...I have seen Beardymat's car in the flesh,his workmanship is first class.
