Can anybody recommend a bodyshop that specialises in fiberglass ie Lotus, tvr etc I'm looking for a complete colour change on my car but the body shops I have contacted so far don't appear interested in touching it and prefer to just concentrate on repairs on tin tops
Thanks

Keirik "not used them, but Ive been looking here for my work, they work on tvr so should be good for specials and kit cars"
I had a car repaired by SP Automotive a few years ago, they had it for 3 months before they started work on it, after numerous phone calls and visits I decided to collect the car and go somewhere else, on my arrival they had started to rub it down and after promising me faithfully it would be completed in 2 weeks it took another 2 months, having spoken to a few people at recent shows where they attend I hear the same story so nothings changed, if your not in a hurry to get your car back then give them a try, I wouldn't let them paint a bicycle, shame because they are only up the road.

Hi Stephen in reply to yours regarding the colour change on my car I think you are getting confused with another car firstly there is hardly any damage to rectify and it involves three colours not four I'm not sure why you would have to completely re spray the car at least twice possibly more, it will need the 500 bhp to move with the weight of all that paint lol, I have had three other quotes, who have actually seen the car and have all come in a similar price to each other which are all considerably cheaper than yours, with the description of the process and work involved regarding stripes etc and having seen their work I am fully confident in the workmanship they can provide, thanks for your reply on an open forum though, I look foreward to meeting you at one of the many shows I will be attending in 2018 thumbup maybe you quoted me for a different car ?
