Paint Recommendation - Pics Added!
Just got the nearside door resprayed by Brian Hutton at The Hawes Garage in South Queensferry. Did a great job and only £180 for it! Will try to put up before and after pics later.
There is a bit if rainwater on the after and it was hard to get a decent shot with the light at the time, but you can certainly see the improvement.

Re: Paint Recommendation
Could just be me but £180 for one door seems quite expensive
I got my first Elise's hardtop painted by a garage in Leith for £70
And that is bigger than a door!
Be interested to see how good the job was though

Re: Paint Recommendation
Aye, but a lot less dismantling and masking needed for a hardtop than a door, no? £180 is a decent price (assuming that the painter did strip and mask the door)X7LDA wrote:Could just be me but £180 for one door seems quite expensive![]()

Although I wouldn't imagine they would take the door out - surely they would just completely cover and seal the car but leave the door exposed?
Either way it's better than £1600
