Can anybody recommend a quality bodyshop in the Midlands or surrounding area for full body repaint? After a imperfection free finish.

Thanks in advance.

If you can afford them, I can't imagine that anywhere could be better than Chartwells in Derby.

A few years ago my A5 was hit by someone and quite badly damaged. A bloke I know in the trade said that I should ask the insurance company if I could get it repaired at Chartwells and they agreed. The end result was nothing short of a masterpiece. I even got a brief tour of their facilities and the place is like the kind of place you'd imagine where they assemble satellites! Their attention to detail was something to behold, and they document every single thing that they do right down to each individual nut, bolt and spot weld (along with diagrams and photos) so if you want, you can see evidence of everything they've done as well. But even just for the quality of the finish I'd recommend them.

TJR in Kings Norton, they're superb quality and realistic pricing.

If you've seen any of the Driftworks cars then you've seen their work as they've done them all.

I'd expect Chartwell will be quite pricey but would be interested to hear how you get on/how they compare to any others you know of.

Yup, that's Gaz.

I was down there yesterday as the front wing on mine has gone bubbly and he had an interesteing looking RX7 in among the other stuff.

I've used them for a few things along with others I know and the work is always great with reasonable prices. Their facebook isn't always up to date but gives you an idea of what they do.
