    Hi all,

    I have an E30 that needs a respray and a couple of dents sorting out, no rust. I'm very fussy and don't mind paying for a good job.

    I need to find someone with the right gear to do the job in the connacht area. I'd like to see some of their previous work also just to be sure they are neat.

    Very hard to find someone who takes older cars seriously when painting, and a lot of guys are full of talk and not much else.

    Any recommendations?

    Frank Byrne in Oranmore has also done fab work for me (non-resto)...

    I wouldn't recommend Frank Byrne in a fit. They did a terrible job on a repair for me and it wasn't a classic.

    Gotta say, that's most unusual.......he worked on a 3 month old car for me, and it was faultless.....
