I need to get a few odds and sods sorted on my M Tech 2 more door, one of them been parts of the kit that could benefit from some fresh paint.
Anybody know a decent paint shop in and around North Birmingham that i could use.
Plus how much do you think it would cost to get the whole kit apainted, any ideas
Thanks

well, im just in the process of geting a new unit as the old one got sold to developers, but u can see my tread *restoring my a reg e30 for my kind of work, also i work for an isurance approved major company who turn out 700 jobs a week, between 150 lads
i'm also in the midlands, and will probably need a few bits spraying, hopefully just my tech 2 lower front bumber piece, but maybe a pair of front wings depending on what colour second hand ones i can find, i'll probably need these sprayin also.

Not rtying to take work off you jonesye30, there was a chap in Netherton by Corbetts Motors. His names Paul. He is really into old skool stuff and always sems enthusiastic if you take an oldy to him.
He's really into his VAG cars. Last time I saw him he'd got a MKII Golf with a 20v Turbo under the bonnet.
He did the wing on my motor for £80. (Some tosser hit in on the works car park)

Great thread - my car is in need of rear-arch surgery and some paint - and I really don't know who to trust to do it.
