Respray - Glossop / Manchester area

Post by High Peaker »

Having just forked out on sorting running gear out, I want to respray the camper to bring it all up to the same level, so I can actually feel proud of it! 8)
It will never be concours, but can anyone recommend a sprayer in the Glossop, Manchester, possibly Sheffield area?

AC Body Repairs in Stockport. Just off the bottom of St Marys way.

Had my 200sx sprayed there, then my supra, and they've done the front bumper on my new 200sx too :)

Needless to say its where im taking my camper once its ready...

I believe that RS Autos in Furness Vale are very good. Just off the A6 up the side of the 'Soldier Dick' pub.

We usualy use stef at Manchester air cooled for stuff on the van, but a more local mechanic (Andy at Firbank 4wd at Hollingworth) for MOTs and work on our other vehicle.

Andy recommends Lightfoots in Hyde for bodywork.

Related to this old post. I just got a nasty scratch (down to the metal) and dinted sliding door repaired at lightfoots. GREAT JOB. Excellent colour match on the spray job, can't even tell we had an argument with a gate post now! £150. We'll be going back in the spring to get some more work done.

Thanks for the PM prompt - and continued recommendations.
I will sort out the remaining rust and bits over the winter then try Lightffots and the others.

Spring shows here we come!
