Sorry if its been asked before, but i'm in need of a front end respray, as some Tosser in the car park where i work, poured a soft drink onto my bonnet, and has made the paint blister.
What is it with people nowadays??.
So if anyone knows of a recommended sprayer, who can apply Halcyon midas Yellow, please let me know.

Dave sorry to hear this, what bloody drink was that then?
The reputable bodyshops ive spoken too or used in the past say its meant to be one of the hardest colours to match (the reason tvr discontinued it i believe), most say they wont touch it unless its a complete respray for that very reason. Its one of my favourite colours too.

Hope you get it sorted

Davies Motors in Cardiff did my front end, they are a Bentley approved bodyshop. Did a pretty good job to. My car is the same colour I believe.

Hi Nick,
Been to Goodwood FOS today, and had a long chat with Austec,(nice bloke)pretty sure that they can do it without a full respray.
The drink was coke or somthing like that, as its got acids in it. Try putting a dirty old 2p piece in a glass of it overnight, then you will see what coke does.(my wife says so) gotta be right then ain't it?
It looks like i can get it done through my insurance, will keep you posted.
Dave
