Has anyone had a really good experience with a bodyshop in London? I'm after a rear end paint repair and respray. (I'm in west London)

Not London sorry, but Liphook Coachworks are probably less than an hour from you smile

Also not really London but W J Crump (brilliant name for a bodyshop!) just up the M11 in North Weald are exceptionally good. Had three separate jobs done by them & all have been excellent. Really competitive prices & a courtesy car if you give them enough notice.

They have completed two jobs on my Griff, one insurance, one private. It's Halcyon Atlantis, the match and blend spot on. The insurance job was a rear end involving more than just paint repairs. I'm West London and if you want a butchers at the paint job on the Griff, let me know.

Thanks for the suggestions/ feedback. Much appreciated.

I should of also asked if anyone has had a rear end inc. doors resprayed (no bodywork damage) in a simple metallic (mine is cooper green) and what sort of price is was for a good job.

In effect that's half the car. I was quoted 2k for a total re-spray two years ago. So at a guess £800 to £1000. If your car is drivable, the place I mentioned will give you an instant quote.

Thanks DWP, just had an assessment done there, but they are not keen to do the job as he could not be confident for the reason that the paint in peeling off. You were spot on for the estimate.

Bee Gee Coachcraft was going to be the next (from reading other threads), but he is on holiday till the end of the month.

Additional suggestions would be appreciated.

Any idea what's causing the paint to peel?
