Full Body Respray . Recommendations .

[Diablo SV]

Can anyone here recommend a company who can do a quality full body respray on a Diablo . I have a few stone chips etc and was thinking of just doing the full car as it,s a 3 layer pearl paint . Who,s the best value ? Who do I avoid ? What,s costs am I looking at ? Thanks in advance .

if you don't strip back to bare metal, you will get sinkage marks, and will require regular machine polishing to remove.
Mine had been repainted 3 times, and suffered badly from this.

Hi Rick
Hope all is well
By the time you are finished with your car it will be like new
What colour are you thinking of?

Panelcraft Swindon repainted my early Diablo some years ago.
Did a good job at a sensible price; some quote silly money.
Still looks lovely which is the real test.

They work on exotic stuff and believe they're currently working on Harry Metclafe's Countach.

I'm not affiliated with them, but would take my Aston to them if needed.

Steven Shore at Shorade in Cannock, can't recommend them highly enough, did some phenomenal 3-layer work for me while I was with Lambo.

The bodyshop is IMMACULATE, 'you can eat your dinner off the floor' etc. Very, very, very good.

Sl restoration in crawley is your best bet. Best bodyshop in the country and their eye for detail is second to none.

Is that a three layer pant?

[Ferruccio]

That was the colour Panelcraft did for me.
The only bit of the car that they didn't have to do were the wing mirrors and they got an excellent match - can't see the join.
