My 1960's classic car is now showing micro bubbles and the paint is dull.
I have taken Meguiar's #7 as far as I could.
The body is in aluminum - I want to make sure that it won't start bubbling again in a couple of years.
Anyone had a good experience with a body shop, who is providing some form of guarantees that solvent was not entrapped, coats were not applied too fast, the right thinner ratio were used etc...?

Anyone had a respray a couple of years ago that you would recommend, on the basis on the lasting quality of the finish?
Anywhere within 1hr of SW London would be great.

I've used Bodycraft in Surbiton (KT5 9EA) for a couple of quite tricky jobs and their work's been excellent. The boss (Eric) used to work for Autokraft many moons ago, so he knows a bit about aluminium etc.

Goes without saying that I've no connection with the business, other than as a satisfied customer.

Many thanks for the lead - I will go visit them today. My car is an AC so he may be more interested than usual.
