Default Paint by PAINTWERKS MOORABBIN

Just thought I would share my experience with my Cobra getting repainted by paintwerks in Moorabbin. to cut a long story short my wife decided to drive out of the garage with the back door still open and unfortunately she smashed into my Cobra in my garage ( every man worst nightmare). It was only minor damage but i am a very fussy person and I had to get it fixed ASAP. I wanted to find someone that had experience painting cobras and I remembered I saw a few posts on this forum from paintwerks so I decided to give them a call. Simon was great to deal with and gave me a lot of good ideas on how he would repaint the car. before the accident the car didn't need a repaint but I thought if your going to fix half of the car you might as well do the whole lot. it did take a lot longer than we planned but I decided to change it up a bit halfway through the paint job. In the end it was definitely worth the wait and i highly recommend PAINTWERKS MOORABBIN too anyone that is considering painting their Cobra. here's some pics.

It look good before... Looks GREAT now.
That's some good taste in modern cobra chic!

Congrats, and well done.

Thanks Mark for the kind words! So glad to hear of your satisfaction. Yes, she was a lot of work (over 60 hours in bodywork alone) but the end result is fantastic!

Looking forward to going on Cobra cruises with our cars. :-)
