Decent sprayers in South East

[Silent_Scone]

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?

@R-Sport Cars LTD will know a few I'm sure

I only know of motorcare in Tunbridge Wells, really can't go wrong with them but won't be cheap.

 

[Mr R.]

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

As above, GL in sidcup are very good.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Wow thanks guys, only just seen all the replies. Will have a look at all the suggestions

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!

KDS is on the same estate as them bud, at the end on the left.

Guy wouldn't let me in the workshop to have a look at there work.
Just told me to have a look at there company vw caddy van that they had painted.

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.

 

[GrahamS]

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.

 

[Jekyll]

How far are you willing to travel within the SE?

Well a white impreza with plated diffs and a paddle clutch isn't exactly descret. [emoji23]

I'll travel miles to get a good job, I'll fire you a text bud. [emoji2]

 

[Silent_Scone]

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

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]

 

[Silent_Scone]

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

 

[Mr R.]

Sounds like a plan mate.

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

 

[Silent_Scone]

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

Try www.abs-paint.co.uk up in Redhill
Mark is the owner top man when it comes to paintwork

 

[Iain C]

a chap called ross from mild 2 wild painted my bmw bumpers last year and made a good job. Was really cheap too. Think i paid him 100 cash for both with a bit or plastic remolding.

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.

 

[Mr R.]

Thanks for the heads up mate. [emoji106]

Myself and SC are going to meet up at GLs next Saturday morning to have a chat with the guy and have a look at their work. [emoji2]

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.
