Hi Guys

Anyone want to recommend a good paintshop/ panel beater in Melbourne. Am thinking about getting my rear bumper re- sprayed and also maybe some m3 side skirts. I just want it to match up well with the rest of the cars body.

Thanks

There's one which is a BMW accredited called super finish. Have not tried them before though

Yeh that was my first choice bro, but after the experience Phil had with them am a bit double minded

Active actually did a really good job on my sister's Merc when some retard scraped the side of the car. You can't even tell it was painted as it matches perfect

Cool thanks bro. One thing good about active is that they know their way around our cars. I will get a qoute from them and a few other places. Thanks Nick

Terrible job on Phils bonnet. Dust specs all embbeded in the paint. From the shoddy work I've seen on Phils car they don't know their way around our cars at all.

Ask for Carl at Charlie Battisti, I have had many positive experience with them. They also the authorised Porsche repairer.

Hi Tawf

My old man is a ex panelbeater and Insurance assessor, he now works for himself as a PDR technician, I can have a chat to him tonight if you like he would able to recommend the beater shops.

I only use Terry from Tankards in Ringwood to do my painting.

Cheers

Hi mate

Thanks that would be awesome if you can ask your dad to recommend anyone he thinks is good. I am in no rush at the moment and just looking to have a list of shops I can get some qoutes done.

Brighton Panel Works does a great job and are very professional and price competitive.

Make sure you get a quote from those guys.

Definitely won't recommend them. it took them two times and 1.5 months to repaint a bumper and a bonnet as they sanded terribly and paint was peeling from edges of bonnet, and the car was returned back with a broken windshield that was caused by the oven or bonnet edge when reinstalling and they acted like they did not see it at all. I was like wait a minute my windscreen had no cracks whatsoever, now you give me my car back with further damage??? Waited another 2 weeks for a new windshield. 3 day job turned into 6 weeks. never ever go there lol.

Corporate Autobody in Thomastown. Ask for chris. the guy has been restoring classic cars for years and I got him to paint two silver cars and one black car. color match and workmanship was great on all three cars considering I am anal about how hard it is to rematch a silver paint. They repainted each car within a week and delivered it within the same week I dropped off the car. I was impressed and my e30 is next for them to repaint.

Damn that is an unfortunate experience - guess I may have gotten lucky with mine as everything came out looking like OEM and a proper job done.

I guess they are not consistent lol. Im glad yours turned out trouble free..
