Chelmsford paintshop

This may well have been done before......I need a painter to paint the bonnet, front wing and front bumper for a 2012 C Class. The parts are new so no repairs needed. Ideally in or close to Chelmsford.
Thanks

J&M Rice Bodyworks have done some work for me in the past - they were in Chelmsford but have now moved to Witham (Moss Road). No complaints with their work to date.

Not sure if P&P in Margaretting (on Ingatestone Rd oppo the pub) do bodywork anymore, they always have a reassuring amount of old tat on the forecourt.

This.

Other than Ian having a dodgy plate on his Golf, 100% recommended; great workmanship and fair prices.

Thanks guys

I can recommend https://www.kraftwork-chelmsford.co.uk/ family business just in the middle of nowhere. So you'll need a lift back. That said another person was dropping off and offered a lift.
They did a great job on the missus car after the front bumper was "redesigned"

Avoid Kraftwork - they do lots of insurance jobs and turn work around very quickly. I had multiple issues on the work they did on my car, very poor preparation, i.e. rushed, that was reflected in the finished work. Some of the paint peeled off the bonnet a few months later and they didn't even fit the vents back on properly.

Agreed re the opinion on Kraftwork immediately above. I would not use them again.

Not exactly where you are looking, but a little way down the road, Maldon Carbody was recommended to me from some others who have had good experiences - Similarly; They sorted out my parts (ooer!) at a reasonable price and were far faster than expected.

Ooooo. As I say we had a good experience and it was a good finish too. That was about a year ago and it's still looking ok.
Good to get a mix of reviews though.

Brewsters on B1007 near Galleywood might be worth a look. They did a good job on my sister's car, although it was only fitting parking sensors.

I've had good results from Brewsters too. They're helpful and very reasonably-priced to boot.
