Default Painters in Victoria

Hi All,

with my workload at the moment I'm just not getting to time on the Cobra. I want to be out driving it and enjoying it so I'm looking at having it professionally painted.

Anyone got any recommendations for bodywork and paint in Victoria?

Cheers

Michael

good to hear Mike. I dunno how you had the patience to wait so long - I lasted a year.

Getting mine painted has been a great feeling as it feels like a real car now. Also doing my carpets, door trims and dash has made it look finished as well. I feel like I can just get in and cruise now.

Gave it its first wash after coming back from Winton on Sat and it looks just great.

Good luck and hope it happens soon.

Dromana Accident Repair painted my car and I'm very pleased with the result.

They are next to Daytona Sports Cars in Dromana - so you'd have something to look at while you wait

You can't go passed Doug Pearce. A visit to his workshop and all you see is Cobras and others in various state of paint. He did my car late last year and i am happy with the results. At Hanging Rock this year all the cars had been painted by Doug.
My 2 cents worth anyway.

Yes Doug did my Cobra and I was happy.

I am considering a repaint of the GT40 and will also talk to Doug and gang.

Has the GFC had any impact on prices?
