Edinburgh Paint Shop? (NLC)

Post by Ferg » Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:33 am

Hi Guys,

My mum has scraped one side of her car and asked me where she should take it. TBH it's been years since I had anything painted and wondered if anyone had any suggestions. I'm looking for a decent enough job but not mega money as the car isn't worth enough to spend recklessly on it.

Cheers
Ferg

Big thumbs up for Willoughbrae. Craig at Murray's will be able to put you in contact if you can't find them.

I recently had the front bumper of my Beemer resprayed by Smarttech in Loanhead, just behind Ikea. Excellent job at a very reasonable price. About £140 to remove, prep, respray and refit the front bumper.

Cool, thanks folks. Gives a couple to phone around and compare. TBH I am familiar with some of those, but thought some of those are upper end. I'll try them and see what they say. Thanks for the input as ever folks

Everyone has their good and bad experiences, possibly with the same place but usually for differing reasons / issues.

You've got a fair selection there to choose from.

Take your chances!!
