| Post subject: | Relaible Panel Beaters |
Hi All, Does anyone know of a good panel beater/spray painters in Brisbane that are conversant with Mini's? 
Last thing I want to do is send it to someone who's a back-yarder if you know what I mean. Anyone have anybody that they can recommend. Must be able to do top quality sray-ups and body mods. 
Regards, Andrew |

the only sound advice i can offer is not to go to anyone on the redcliffe peninsula. with the exceptions of my exhaust system and some small auto-electrical stuff, ever other piece of work done in that area has been either botched, overpriced, or caused problems elsewhere. that goes for body work, electrical, or mechanical. |

Nermil, Thanks for the intel - that rules out Redcliffe etc Anybody else. I have heard that the "Bump Shop" at New farm is supposed to be good. Anybody else? Cheers, Andrew |

Andrew, Come check out my car. Dawson Automotive at Tingalpa painted it and the panel work was done by a mob on Lytton Rd at Bulimba. I CANNOT recommend Dawson Automotive highly enough. The are very passionate about their quality of work and have a very sound background with historics. JC |

Hey thanks John, Yeah lets get together. I have had numerous horror stories from guys who took their cars to "reliable" panel beaters only to lay down a lot of cash for work that was equal to a bunch of kids at kindy. Actually, the guy you met at the Muster, Tony, has a friend who is one of them. Paid about $2-3K for a panel and spray job and it turned out full of bog (i.e. no panel beating at all just a lot of filling, and poor filling at that!) with the paint work looking like they threw a bucket of paint over it. Lets meet up and chew the fat! Andrew |

I can second that call on John Dawsons work. Jonny is the only person I trust to do any panel work on any of my cars. I have recommended him to many others and all have raved about his work. Not cheap but damn good. |
