He's just started him own business but has been painting for years, he's taken care of all my bodywork needs since i've owned the mk3 (randomly i bought it off him as a standard 1.4 merit in 2003!)
Can't recomend him enough if you want anything from blowing in a wing to full re-spray.

I need a couple of bits done on the Astra but have always used CL Panelcraft in Braintree for the cabby. They are expensive but a proper bodyshop with booths and ovens so the work is always spot on. I have another guy in Braintree I use for my other cars who just works out of a Unit, he is cheap but that does reflect in his work i'm afraid.

Am tempted to give your mate a go as I only need the front bumper and some interior dash parts doing.

**MarkW** · 13-05-2007 14:39

As am I, I desperatly want my zender kit sprayed and fitted.

**Spinbitch** · 13-05-2007 14:47

Paul could help both of you, he's new unit also has a proper spraying booth at the back and a sealed paint mixing room, etc. Plus he has a massive new car trailer so collection and delivery isn't a problem, if cars don't work or don't want to put the miles on etc.

**Brian Stirrup** · 13-05-2007 14:47

Perhaps I'll give him a call tomorrow then

**Spinbitch** · 13-05-2007 14:52

Nice one fella, reckon i should be on comission! lmao

**MarkW** · 13-05-2007 14:55

lmao I reckon you should!!

**kevseymour** · 13-05-2007 14:55

Comission? You should have PCC plastered down the side of your green machine in big chrome letters!

**Spinbitch** · 13-05-2007 14:57

Lol, probably will knowing Paul! lmaolmao

**MarkW** · 13-05-2007 15:00

lmao

**Drizz** · 13-05-2007 15:54

He's a very nice guy and will be added to the list. Just hope the work reflects it lmao...

**Spinbitch** · 13-05-2007 16:05

Indeed, i was very happy with the paint job on the Astra last time, as was my mate who had his black S14a 200sx painted Mazda Flair (gold) by Paul.

Charged me £30 to pop his head through the window of my Omega and tell me the gearbox was wrong - Hence "Gearbox Fault" on the MFD.

MGH Autocare on the BLUEBRIDE Estate, As mentioned below, VERY good bloke, cheap, experienced, perfect!
