Hi All

I am wanting my front bumper respraying to a high standard.

Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop/spraypainter in the Tynedale/Newcastle area ?

I have been told Laurence Davison of Haugh Lane, Hexham is good ?

Can anyone comment on standard of finish & cost ?


Thanks in advance

I can recommend Pride and Joy Classics in Middlesbrough, but I don't know anyone that far North in the region I am afraid.

Steve Taylor had terrible bother with the paint job on his GTS somewhere down there. He eventually sent the whole car up here to be re-done. Maybe a PM to him, to check where to avoid?

I think that was somewhere over in Newton Aycliffe or Darlington, it wasn't Pride and Joy.

Sorry Simon, I was just being general about the North East. It's so hard to find good quality workmanship these days, if Simon recommends Pride and Joy Classics, then I'd try them first.
