My insurance company agreed that most of the car would need to be sprayed. They are also claiming from thurrock council on my behalf.
Took the car to Candy Autmotive (user name Candyman) and he dealt with the whole this for me very quickly and efficiently.
For a very reasonable additional sum he also painted the panels that were no affected but we decided not to paint the roof. So entire car bar roof has been painted.
Got the car back last week and I am very happy with the work to say the least.
If anyone wants a very good job done Candy Automotive should be put on the list of people to get a quote from. I have not seen many insurance jobs like this!
Very easy to deal with and does exactly what he says. There are no hidden dramas at the end of it either.
While not the cheapest it is a well known fact that quality comes at a price.
What impressed me the most was the attention to detail and extra things were done just to make the car look really nice. No overspray anywhere, All of the shut lines had smooth paint, smal rust issues were sorted without asking for extra money, plastics were repaired without mention and the car came back in such a clean state. The interior was fully cleaned - leather was polished up, carpets hoovered....
This is one of those rare companies that actually takes pride in their work and the other two staff are helpful and very pleasant to deal with.
When I phoned to get an update I got more information that I asked for.
Got wheels refurbed by Stuart (Mr candy himself) while car was there and here are the results:
