    Paint Job for my Rangie

    Hi everyone,

    I have recently purchased a 2001 RR HSE 4.6 in the colour 'white gold'.

    Unfortunately the exterior paint and plastics/rubbers are quite faded and in particular the paint is quite thin in some areas along with the usual car park scratches e.t.c. I dont think the car has seen a shed in a long time.

    To cut a long story short, could anyone recommend someone who would do a really nice job of painting my car and restoring the colour or painting the exterior plastics without charging a Kings Ransom?

    I live in the country South East of Melbourne but would be happy to travel to the city or further affield for the right job.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Bluey......

    I've used these people for various insurance work on my Defender - They did a very nice job and they are Land Rover specialists.

    I cannot reecomend anyone in vic, but get them to colour code the bumpers, mirrors and side skirts while you are there, they look really good like that.

    Colour Code:

    Red for faster
    Blue for cool
    Green for envy?


    Or get them colour matched to the bodywork.

    Colour coding is a correct term wrt automotive bodywork as Andy has used it.

    Whereabouts in s/e Vic are you? Roger Manson panels in Drouin did a very nice job for me a little while ago, and I was looking at some paintwork they had done on a friend's Rangie last week that was excellent. I don't imagine that a full respray worthy of a Range Rover would be a cheap undertaking.

    Certainly not for Virginity in the case of Ron's RR.

    Glad you had a good experience with them - I would not recommend them at all.
