Default Bodyshops in Lambeth or Camden

Grrr, typed this once and the forum had a hissy fit

Anyway. I've now pretty much fixed my undertray (using Plastex, which is frankly amazing stuff, so thanks for the recommendation). It needs a little bit of sanding down in some places, as well as a little bit of reinforcement on the back of the brackets to hopefully stop them from breaking again.

I need to get it painted, either in Lambeth or Camden (preferably somewhere in Hampstead). Anyone know of some reasonable paint shops, that won't cost a fortune to do probably 1 or 2 hours prep (at most!) and to spray the undertray?

Only place i know in and around Camden is Lazer motorbikes near Chalk Farm tube. He's done a couple of things on my bike like card balancing and chain and sprockets in the past and James who runs the place is a thouroughly nice bloke too. Not sure if they will do what you need but i'm sure they can suggest someone if its not their thang.

Gave them a ring, but they stated that they wouldn't paint plastics

Found somewhere in Lambeth called G&M, but i've not heard any reviews of them.

Funnily enough i popped in to see James and buy some fork oil and he asked if it was me who had recomended him.

sorry he was no help btu good luck with it.
TSM is over Lambesth ways but i know he's not on here much at the mo so maybe send him a quick PM and see if he's heard anything about them. I know he's had his own reasons to need plastic sprayed up too.

Update... stopped by a mechanic i used for my cars and asked his bodyshop guy if he can paint plastics. He said yes. As long as the plastics are off and you supply the right paint he'll do it.

he did some body work on my BMW years back and it was so good as to be un-noticable. And the car was white!!!

He's in Cricklewood, if you still need someone that is?

I took it down to G&M in Lambeth who seemed happy enough to do it. They're Audi approved, so should be reasonable quality. I'll see how I get on with them.
