HarleyFDMD Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Ask skippyboyo1 where he got his/my car painted. Pretty sure it's called RT autobodies, I should know, it says it in carbon across my wings lol just can't think off the top of my head! Iirc it's in Leeds and the quality is second to none! And I'm also very very picky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Rob I used PL Carbodies in Warwick years back. They resprayed my bonnet and mopped and polished car for approx £600 if my memory serves me right. Their finishing was excellent and I would use them again. http://www.plcarbodies.co.uk Ric - that is utterly stunning mate. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) That looks like an awesome job mate.. Car looks lovely how much did that set you back Remember it was a full glass out, strip job It was around 3800 for the work which included BMW/Audi's Ceramic lacquer stuff, then i had some extras like underseal, paint the inside matt black to get rid of as much red as possible and also a new windscreen. Came to around 4200 all in. He's done loads of other bits for me, like re-lacquering the carbon defuser, painting door handles etc always a quality finish i won't be going anywhere else in a hurry.

Parm_93 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Just an update on this thread, since seeing these recommendations and doing some digging, I dropped my car off at Elite Motor Solutions last night for a full respray after seeing yours Ric. Seem to very nice people and know what they are talking about, things I didn't even think about. Shall update on how the car turns out .

Sukhy Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Be good to see how it comes out. Rics car looks amazing in the pics. How much did they quote you and how long will it take? PM me if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parm_93 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I was quoted around £4750-£5000. It would have been £4200 but I'm going for more expensive lacquer option as I want it perfect, it's also a colour change and I have rust on the arches and micro blisters on the roof to sort out. From other garages I was quoted £5000-7000 plus VAT. That involves windows out, fitting of whole new body kit, and engine bay spraying. Also welding plates into holes that I don't require I.e rear wiper and washer jet. They said it could be done in a few weeks, as it is quiet at this time of the year. So I may get it back before xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
