I had some minor cosmetic paintwork done on my 993tt(calipers etc)by Specialised Paintwork in Reading.The quality of the work is the best ive seen(and ive had a few cars done by recommended OPC paintshops over the years always been unimpressed).They werent cheap however were very knowledgeable about Porsches and have a real passion for getting the job perfect which they have done.It was well worth the poxy drive down the m25/m4 to get the work done and i would recommend them to anyone.thumbup

What I liked about them is the thoroughness and lack of condescending remarks when they did my 924: Sent pictures in the post of issues found & talked me through what the recommendations were.

Like the man said though, not cheap.

Painted several race car for me. Nice guys. Kayc your brake calipers should be powder coated as per the factory. Two pack won't stand up to the heat as well.
(Resisted the temptation to make any sarcastic comment about Kayc never getting his brakes even remotely warm) wink
