Default Roof Repair Recommendations.

Hello All,

my roof needs attention due to lacquer failure.
I need it repaired, probably stripped and re-lacquered to be honest.

It goes without saying that it needs to go to someone who knows what this specific job takes to do perfectly.
I have a great deal of experience with Automotive paint through work, but no facility to use.
I need someone who has done this before.

The chaps who posted on here from Holland seemed to have it cracked but I don't want to put 1,000 miles on the car !!

Looking to hear from Folk who have had this done for a recommendation.
Close to the South Coast please! but obviously prepared to travel for the right Job.

Please don't suggest Simpsons - A CSLR member pointed me in their direction a couple of months back via PM, but after a couple of emails and no responses, I called them twice, and despite having confirmed they had got the emails, still nobody calls back, so I can only assume they are not interested.

Thaks Chaps

Nick.

Munich Legends ask for Dan they know what they are doing and not far to travel.
Was amazed when I saw what they can do with the lacquer .

Jetstream Motorsport at Bruntingthorpe did mine, it's lovely. Whoever does it, make sure they know just how thin the original gel coat is, because you risk going through if you're a bit gung-ho.

Interesting post on this subject on cutters. For those who find they need a new roof this looks a pretty good option as they are now NLA from BMW.

Ben, i don't think the quality of work was in question as many on here have recommended them but i also had the same experience when contacting Simpsons on 3 occasions, never had any contact back from them. Can only assume they are very busy & don't need the work / have very poor customer service, doesn't exactly fill you with confidence. Shame they can't go the extra mile to get back to potential customers. Kev
