  • Escort painting experts in W. midlands needed

    Hi all
    I am about to buy a MK 1 RS 2000 that is really nice but needs a tiny blemish in the paintwork on one front wing just above the headlights sorting. No rust underneath the wing, really clean, metal feels smooth and sounds true, not the dull thud you get when rusted. Just a small couple of spidery lines in the paint about 3 cm across. (can post a pic if it helps)

    I am in the west midlands and wondered if anybody has any previous with any loving restorer/painter that would take on this small job and treat the car with love!

    The closer to home the better of course but don't mind travelling a bit. Spoke to the guy at the Escort Agency today who was really helpful but being based in Tenby makes it a bit of a jaunt.
    Any ideas please?

    Thanks
    Mark

          Painting...

          What colour is the car?

          My two MK1's have both been painted by Jeff Fox at Tardebigge Body Shop which is just outside Redditch.

          01527 550 422

          If you are not too far away take the car and let him have a look.

          He is a good man.

                Hi Russ
                It is Daytona Yellow. Thanks for the suggestion, will give them a call. They would be about 20miles away so no problem there.
                Cheers

                  Painting...

                  The reason I asked the colour is that some are easier to match...age..tint etc...

                  I hope it works out for you.....I dont want to lose a friend!
