I must need my head examining. Got a 2003 186k Saab 9-5 estate. It goes like a train and has lots of whistles and bells which still work. I've gone through the thing mechanically, and some bits that make it go faster appeared in my eBay purchase history somehow.
However, it looks like a shed. I keep thinking I ought to swap it for something tidier and newer, but where's the fun in that? So my quest is to find someone to give me a price on a decent repaint so I'm not embarrassed rocking up at a client in what looks like a car used exclusively for the tip run.
Any pointers? Not looking for glass out, just a decent job with some reasonable prep and materials.

He's not exactly where you've asked for but I know of a very good guy between Didcot and Wallingford, he did the paint on my BMW (Black)
And I was totally happy with the standard of his work.
He's not the cheapest but he is very reasonable.
I will have to look for his business card when I get home if you're interested .

I'll give you a buzz. |
