My car needs a full respray (I think) could do with a good body shop in the Hull area, who know what they're doing with fiberglass cars, any recommendations?

paint works in a real mess but you can only see if you look closely frown
common problem with the vx's it seems, happened over winter, seems water gets in somehow freezes and blows the paint off.

I'm not 100% sure it needs a full respray but with it being on almost every part of the body, and the car being made up of two "clams" i'm thinking this is likely to be the case.

i used impact refinishers on fountain road when my focus had a garage door run into it.sorry should have said when her in doors put it into the side of the garage instead of putting it inside as per norm.furious
they did a good job mate

WARRNING wot ever you do dont use pete frasers the worrst repair i have ever seen came out of there.
hope this helps you a bit

p.s if you go for a full respray will you stick with the same colour or change to a new one

cheers pete

It's over the Bridge, but MSM in Winterton are very highly recommended.

They aren't the cheapest around, but always take great pride in their work and the quality is really top notch. I took my Elise trackslag in for a respray of the front end and it came out looking like new.

I've had two good repairs from Pete Frasers, however I have heard of several bad repairs aswell.
