Thread: Reliable ACT Paint Shop?

Some LROC ACT members would be a good start.
Have a chat in fyshwick with some:
Series Workshop - Canberra Land Rover Mechanic

What colour are you going for?

Hi mate, the workshop is only new and I don't think they are geared up for body restorations just yet. One of the owners works in the same loc as you - I'll PM you his name. Perhaps have a chat with him over a coffee ?

You could also google 'car restoration canberra' and you'll get hits on a number of specialists that could do the job. You may want to consider Sydney as well.

Tony Farrugia Bodyworks is the best in Canberra. He does all the high end Euro cars, including most warranty and insurance work for Land Rovers. He is pricey though....

Cheers,

Going either Ivory or Corris Gray.

Tony F. only does insurance work.

I might be going with Reel Steal in Queanbeyan.

Real Steal is a car restoration company - Ok if you are wanting to get them to do the full restoration - but like all restoration companies a bit expensive. If you are looking at paint work then I would be looking for a dedicated paint shop or a smash repairers with a good paint shop - there are a few over at Hume.

Oh - by any chance is your Defender the red one parked on the nature strip in Weston Creek?

I'm doing the full restoration, just looking for paint.

If you have another recommendation, please share.

No, mine is just a rolling chassis in the garage. Cheers.

Wizard did the repairs on my sons D2, got the colour right etc reasonable price, happy for cash. They have been exhibitors at the last few 4WD Spectacular, so worth a mention.

I will just say we have had vehicles bought up from Sydney for us to paint
