Painter in Essex (Chelmsford)

[Extra 300 Driver]

I managed to rescue a 1998 Mini MPi Sportpack from the breakers, about a year ago. The body was in good condition but the engine and gearbox need rebuilding. The guy couldn’t afford it so he decided to part it all out on ebay. As the car was only in Colchester I went and looked at it and made him an offer for the entire lot, excluding the interior which he had sold. The problem was it was all in boxes!

After 12 months I got it all back together and I love it, I have two minis and I use this as my daily driver which gets some strange looks from my clients but they love it too. Now I am at the stage where I want to start to make it perfect and I need some painting doing on it. It has the first signs of rust on the front panel and the scuttle. Also it needs new A panels and a boot lid.

I am ok with the welder and I am happy to sort the rot but I need a painter recommended to me to me who is happy for me to strip the car, do the panel work and give it to him to paint. It’s in Tahiti blue with a white roof.
I am in Chelmsford but I am willing to get the car transported, if I can get a trailer!
Any recommendations?

Try Sanis Motors. He's at the Boreham interchange (the buildings at the entrance of the carboot sales)
