cheers guys.
Is there anywhere a bit closer to Darlo that you know of? i have been to berry and palmers before dont know where they are now but i would not go back there as there colour match is not the greatest or the shading/blending.

is this guy good at HBRC then? might take a drive up one time. how does he charge not over priced or anything?
would he be able to sort the bumper saging? and a tiny rust spot as i know a few places dont like touching rust.

I can recommend a guy in Bishop if thats any closer for you. But sounds like HBRC is getting good votes too.

Not sure wether this is the one Baldy's on about but http://www.autospraydarlington.co.uk/ has an excellent reputation. I have took mine there for private work and insurance work. They have just resprayed a new wing and door and blended it into the rear door for me and they have done far to good of a job. No orange peel at all like the rest of the car which is factory paint its 100% spot on and my parents have been taking there cars they for years if any accidents have happed as well as people I know at work. Picked mine up few weeks ago and they were restoring 3 classic Mercedes and the Mini enthusiasts seem to trust them. Have a walk in the younger guys decent crack. Come and have a look at the work done on mine if you want.
