I'm looking to freshen up the bus paint come autumn. Nothing serious. Stone chips/ check out cracked paint on seams. But would like to know I am using someone who will look to cure any rust issues- (You know don't you )- Rather than just blow over the top.
I know a really good sprayer. But he's more a accident repair wizard , than a body restorer.
Any recommendations in the Cambs/ North Herts/ Essex region would be gratefully received. For example Resto Custom Ltd ? Anyone experience of them ?
Thanks.

Is there any difference between repairing accident damage to age related damage?

Thanks JJ Yes it is. But I managed to get a couple of severe stone chips.- I've had to replace the windscreen too due to another stone -. Also those concrete central barriers on the French auto routes get a build up of grit. Which creates a sand blasting effect when disturbed by other cars. It has been 7yrs since it had some work. Everyone says ignore the seams at your peril, and the paint has cracked on a couple. My TLC can only go so far.
Ok, I'll struggle on 'til lunge time!
