Yer, he seems to be pretty good. Tony his name is and he's really friendly![]()
He sprayed Becky's spoiler for her for £110, which we thought was pretty good. I have another mate with a VXR who uses him for spraying and stuff, he recently had a big dent and nasty stone chip on his bonnet repaired by Bodytone and speaks quite highly of him.
Are these the guys opposite the army camp?
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
Are right cool, glad i never wne tthere then lmao well that silverlake place is alright too, they did my mates leon for him, bit of a chav kit but the spray job was top notch.

That's the thing...you drive it to Bodytone almost standard, get a load of low ass bodykit fitted and get a big fat FAIL when you try and drive out lmao
Nah, I'm sure it's ok cos there's always a couple of cars he's done outside. Usually an Orange Polo and a Green Golf. Both look pretty low![]()
My old car was resprayed there a few years back, did an excellent job and it was quite cheap too
ok sounds good then... think ill be going there
my son is good mates with the owner of that orange polo.. his father owns the placethats how we found out about it....hmmm discount
my son has finally won the battle .. for months he has been nagging me to get it resprayed black with the new bumpers , he done a photochop and it looks ace.. so it has to be done , cant wait .. just need the cash now![]()
Will look good black![]()

like I said before the guy doing my carlton is a miracle worker, based about 10 miles north of Milton Keynes (Very close to Santa pod).
Again like I said he isn't cheap, but IMO you should never skimp on things like this because unless you really lucky the usual thing that happens is the paint finish/prep or thickness of paint is substandard and you end up with it flaking or going dull or whatever quickly.
To put it into perspective (something I never had when I took my carlton to him) here is what has been done and how much it's cost (BTW this guy hasn't bumped up the quoted price even though he found more problems)
Full respray inc door/boot shuts and engine bay slam panel
All paintwork removed to bare metal (because it was THAT bad)
dents removed from most of the doors (car park type)
Drivers door rebuilt (got a nice rusty surprise when he sanded the paint and found loadsa filler)
Rear arch extensions smoothed in
front and rear bumpers repaired (cracked)
aerial hole smoothed
boot panel de-rusted
Spoiler removed, mounts rebuilt and spoiler tweeked to fit the rear 1/4s better (before they caught slightly on the paintwork... damaging it)
Rust around rear window killed
huge deep scratch in bonnet removed
Heavily damaged bonnet rear corners rebuilt (I was amazed at this as they were bent to fook!!)
Bonnet badge recess smoothed
Painted in a metallic paint with subtle flip (not telling u the colour... it's a surprise)
Drive in drive out price: £2500
Considering the sheer size of the car and the work thats gone into it I think it's a very fair price.
