Hi all
Looking to get a full body restoration and repaint in the South East, ideally in East Sussex (I'm in Hastings), or Kent. Can anyone recommend somewhere that can do a top notch job please?

The guy that I use is in Ninfield now was in Croydon, happy to recommend, he has replaced the lower front panel on mine and resprayed twice in the last 16 years ( every 7 years or so I remove all the glass and body fittings, sand, sand blast and treat the seams at home and he preps and sprays for me) you are more than welcome to visit and see my van and his work, I'm at the top of the M23. Justin (300ce) has a good guy in Swanley also, I'm sure he will post soon

Thank you. Ninfield would be very handy for me! Do you have a contact you could share at all?

sure it's Garry at Autocrash 01424-892121 but don't make him too busy, he is due to paint my Audi 100 soonish when I have finished the rust treatment

I can recommend Tom at Eagle Autos in Swanley if it's not too far from you - you can see pics of the work on my bus in the Restoration and Major Repairs Threads.
He's also just completed some work on a Beetle i've just bought.
