Good Auto Painter Recommendations in Auckland

Post by 4CylinderSpecial »

Hi All,

Looking to get my bumper and mirrors repainted in my Mr2 as they have begun to fade. Looking for a paint shop which will do a good job and have good attention to detail. Does anyone have any recommendations/experience? Would prefer the shop to be West/Central Auckland if possible.

Cheers

If you provide a quality service it normally takes quite a bit of time so charging a lot would make sense. I know if I got my car repainted or parts repainted I'd expect to pay a bit for the quality I'm after. :D

Exactly my thoughts. Would rather have the job done right and have the paint look 100%.

Also if you are really picky ask to see some of their work.

Safi Panel and Paint in Henderson Valley Road are good. Did Cameron's (MR2 GUY) car and MY AW. Does a lot of classic work and attention to detail is great. Remember that your just getting a touch up not a repaint so the main thing is colour matching as bumpers and mirrors are fairly easy jobs

Give him a call 09825 3637 ask for Sayeed
