Decent sprayers in South East

Unfortunately my trusted painter is being forced out of his current building soon, so I'm on the hunt for someone else who can be trusted.

Any recent recommendations for anyone in the South East area?

I went to see the guys at KDS in Medway about a few bits I want doing on the impreza.

Not cheap though mate but there work is stunning.

Darnley Auto Works in Rochester Kent, they sprayed my Dads orange Supra, there's a thread on here with photos.

I will give them a call mate, KDS wanted £400 + vat to paint my boot plus extra money to colour match.

If it took them a day then that was going to be another £400 + vat.

I don't mind spending and it must be perfect but £1k to paint a boot lid us a bit much....lol

Their site is pretty impressive, but Gillingham is a proper s**t hole, and I lived in Croydon so I do not use that term lightly

I went to Lepsons in Gillingham last year, the high st & surrounding areas were a dump though!

He might have done that with good reason, but that's still shady. Sounds snobbish, but there's no snobbery involved when talking about Gillingham. Might as well be Mordor for all I care, it's a collection of national crust. Last time I was there some fine young lad was beating on his girlfriend. I had to step in because I felt obliged but should have kept walking, she looked like she deserved it. Plus an Evo in Gillingham is like flies on s**t lol.

It may well be worth calling the likes of dupont and asking for a recommendation from them. If there's someone that will know it's them.
I used to work for a car insurer in Tunbridge Wells and still know a lot of the estimators so will ask around to see who's good and bad.
Look for PAS125 kitemark.

Going to give a few a call today. GL Coachworks looks like a good shout.

lol no it's not you're right
Let me know how you get on bud, I also had a look at the company's web site's that have been posted.

Got to say that GL looked the best (I know it doesn't mean alot)

If I can find the time then I might pop over to see them with the car at some point. [emoji2]

Yeah i am just fishing at this stage, i'm looking at getting the rear end painted on the evo. If you're in no rush we could go captain planet on them and see if they'd do a decent price for both lol :D

Sounds like a plan mate.

I need the roof, boot lid and the new front bumper I bought painted.

Similar level of work there to mine. Ok, i'll pm you later and we can devise a quick one of what needs doing. Don't think it will aid the price much but every little helps

That's ominously cheap!

That's about 2 miles from where I'm sitting, thanks
it is but the job looked great. Was white tho. My friend had her dc2 painted by him as well and she was happy... that was white too.

I've used GL before and recommended a good few times, they're nice chaps and do a good job in my experience to date.

I didn't have time in the end, what with my car being off the road it wasn't top of my to do list just yet.

But i will pay them a visit soon.
