Johnathon Day Panelbeaters , he did the paint and repanel of my car after another local outfit did an entirely shithouse job of it.
Also James & Kingsbeer, Justin painted my old MR2, and it was a pretty damn good job.

Don't go to Advance Panel and Paint.

James and kingsbeer would get my vote. Never had anything done there but seen their work and i'd highly rate it.

Just remember, you get what you pay for.

cheers guys. am still deciding whether or not to just get a few bits done or do the whole thing in one go

J & K, but only if you can get Justin to do it.
Or Wisemans in Feilding, but you need a mortgage for them

Another one you could go to is Middleton Panelbeaters, Richy is a good bugger.

Is that the one that has the red rx2 out the front all the time?

Kennards Collision repair are good. They are constantly doing restration jobs, and do it well from what I've seen.

Was in there ages ago and brent had just finished doing a rear quarter panel on an old colt galant coupe. He said he had to make most of it himself as he couldn't get a new quarter panel but it looked pretty good to me

agree with all the above after having a bad experience with a local dude recently, whom is mentioned negatively above. his version of events is different though hah, love the way shit gets spouted.
think multiple reworks and those reowrks being of similarly shit quality, and me being slandered as an arsehole by the owner when all I asked for was them to do a good job.... after all this I should have not spent the money and jsut rolled in a car that needed a quick panel and paint, rather than spend a few grand on a panel and paint that needs redoing to be up to my standard.
'it's jsut an old car though, what do you expect'. thanks guys.
