Help, I need a sprayer.

Post by Spellbinder »

Hi... Can anyone point me in the direction of a good sprayer in the Cardiff area?... My MK1 MR2 has been the victim of vandals. They have covered the paintwork in some sort of paint stripper :cry: and I am having a nightmare trying to get someone to treat and spray it... I really don't want to sell her for spares and would appreciate any help at all... ........Thanks guys

I am looking for a garage to spray my car instead. But if the paint stripper has gone close to the metal, get it sprayed asap, at least with rattle cans for now.

Hi m8,

I live in Cardiff also and had a full respray on my mk1 about 16 months ago. I'd recommend the guy who did mine, he'd do a very good job and is very cheap. He's already had practice on mine neway so he'd be up for doing it i woulda thought, you can have a look at my car and see what you think of his work neway, pm me if you want more details...

that's just pure evil :evil:
when we had our first mk1 some little vandals popped our bonnet badge and a few weeks later, some more little vandals (probably the same ones) came along and scratched the letters "mr2" into the bonnet.

good luck with your repairs :thumleft:

Hiya Sid,
Could you possibly tell me where you got your respray done... still not found anyone willing to do it apart from a trainee sprayer.. .. she is looking in a pretty sorry state at the moment and I really want to get the spray done and get her back on the road.... engine is still good and starts first time even though she's been standing for almost a year. Just gonna need new brakes and windscreen wipers for the MOT.
Cheers for the help.
