Default Paint shop recommendations UK

Hi guys, anyone on here recommend a paint shop in the south east area for a full respray? Must be top notch as I am fussy.
I already have a quote from lemass but would like to speak to some others.

TIA

Not sure how close they are to you, but Google Greg Howell from Southam Bodies and Richie Payne from Milestone 71.

I heard good things about these two, and both were very helpful / pleasant when I met them. Not used either though.

http://www.daytonacoachworx.co.uk (Stevenage) - do a lot of 944s

Mine will go to Lemass though when I finally get the cash together

I have used Dave at Daytona for both my cars. Cant fault them. Not south east based though which may be a showstopper.

I have used Lemass recently, very pleased with the work

I have also used Bodytechnics in Slough. Porsche Approved Bodyshop so a bit more pricey but also very good: http://www.bodytechnics.co.uk/index.htm

Not too far, I live in Horley. The job really needs to be seen in my opinion to get a fair price hence local people.

I really thought I would be helping myself out by doing all the hard bits of stripping, but have ended up with a car I can no longer move easily!!

I used Sportwagen in Great Wakering. They specialise in older stuff generally, but they are really good and their customer service is top notch..... Plus you get to look at some great 356's and 2.7RS's...............!

I've used these guys in the past on a couple of motors, they're in Barking just off the A13.
I was very pleased with the service and finished product.
They actually used to do work for wheeler dealers Mike Brewer and Ed China.

Ken at Nine Excellence has just had his red 964 repainted by SL Restoration in Crawley, following the off at Spa. He is blown away with the quality. Porsche Approved. Ask for Tomas White.

They have done a lot of work for my customers including on top-end hypercars.

Had a look over Tom Lemass's Dog Lipstick on Sunday, flawless to my eyes.
