i'm going to get my car resprayed once again last time the guy bodged it up and it's microblytering and rusting in a few place and the kit is starting to crack all of which you would not notice if you just walked past but i know it's there. what a bit of work done like bonnet vent put in and the mess sorting and then sprayed in nuvola blue that alfa colour

anybody know any good places?

Azzuro nuovla.I would deff get the slighly less flipp one,as the really gold flippy one doesnt look too good on the Alfa,
Looks a lovely colour in the book but have you saw a car in the flesh that colour yet?

he bodged my car by first of all not cutting the old arches out and sticking new ones over the top when i specificaly asked for the old ones to be cut out. then he could not roll the arches because to much metal so he cut the lip off and stuck loads of gunk stuff everywhere which is now rusting. i asked him to weld a patch over a hole and found out the other day it was just stuck on. also put the kit on to high at the back so it's rubbing the bottom of the door and causing it to rust. genrally not enough paint on it rusting in places where he missed like door edges. under front and rear window seals starting to rust. kit starting to carck in places, also it is micrblystering all over

most of it can't be seen at just a quick look at it but i know it's there and will start to get worse. I think he had the opinion of what the eye can't see does not matter.

I've seen a couple of alfa's in that colour and thought they looked really nice it was a very bright day and just caught a quick look at them. I'll have to go to a showroom and have a look at one

I've been making a few enquiries into bodyshops cos i'm looking at getting my car done as well. 2K are also cack. The best I've found so far is Reed Brothers in Redruth. They sprayed the air ambulance and the dyno rod vans. He's goona have a go at putting a purple flip over spectral blue

lee i just got my car sprayed by a guy called john out at white cross, hes only a small business with 3 units in the yard, but he has a good team, take your car down there and get him to look at the work, he will give u a quote there and then. he did an excellent job on mine

his number is 01726 860767

Who was it that sprayed it before? not steve at 'the spray shop'?

**Orbital** · 10-09-2003 20:03

I'll try them both and see what i can get done and at what price they will realise that i'm a perfectionist when they see i'm not happy with what's been done already to my car. do those people do mods or just resprays?

moss at st day coachworks sprayed my car last time.

If you dont mind traveling a bit further then I would recomend a mate in Tavistock, he's called Andy and has the Orange RST that goes around and was on the Bailey stand at Trax.

His number is 07753426485.

**Orbital** · 11-09-2003 19:17

was that the orange rst at the last saltash cruise?

**Miles** · 11-09-2003 19:47

I would have thought so. No rear spoiler, bad boy bonnet etc
