Full respray and need recommendations of where to go

Looking to get my mk1 golf gti fully resprayed - the varnish is lifting, some surface rust in places and replacing a wing so needs to be the whole car resprayed but not sure where to go - any recommendations of paint shops would be really appreciated

Restoshack near Exeter in Devon. Not cheap but you won't find better.

Look them up on FB.

1. Stay away from places that only use rollers, or brushes..
2. Post the area or region that you live to narrow down the shops that are local to you.

Talk to past customers when choosing, and thumbs up from members here are a really good thing to take in account.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

When you say not cheap what sort of figure are we looking at. I have a Mk1 Scirocco that needs a full body job (as well as other costly things) and was wondering how much it costs?

I spoke to restoshak and they are 10 to 30k but they do a very very good job. If I had the money I would let them do mine.

I stripped mine down myself and it cost about 3k for 2 rear arches inner sill patch and full respray. See my project 1.6gti unintentional project. Cost me about 3k.
