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

Re: Good Auto Painter Recommendations in Auckland
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.tulsamcclaine wrote:I've heard nothing but good things about http://gtrefinishers.co.nz/ but they charge heaps.

Re: Good Auto Painter Recommendations in Auckland
Exactly my thoughts. Would rather have the job done right and have the paint look 100%.GDII wrote:If you provide a quality service it normally takes quite a bit of time so charging a lot would make sense.

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
