yea he's the shizel. chris said he knew a guy in glasgow, but although i dont doubt chris, I've known Biff for years and have seen his work first hand. so i would only pay that sort of money to him to do the body work.

plus i have his company's sticker on the front of my white car. lol

Yeah it really really needs to be done by someone who knows what they're at. Mine was so even tho the car had a nice finish there was more flakes in some parts than others

yea i've seen him do resprays for £400 and thats good tbh.

I'd expect to spend £1000 for the work i want doing as there may be some welding issues too. (and the paint and flake cost loads more than regular 2 pac)but when i get it back off him I know it's gona be a perfect job.

got any pics chet? sounds like it was a pucker job.

I'm liking that chet! thats a good job, flakes not too bunched up either.

I'm leaning towards black though as it just seems to stand out more.

I think metalflake makes cars look like fairground dodgems but there you go, to each his own and all that!

I agree with neal on this one.

The guy I know is an insurance approved merc and beemer sprayer.

Like I said full respray on that new fiesta, fitting the kit and welding in a new rear 1/4 and inner arch is 800.
