Not always good reports of Autobodycare.
For instance I wouldnt go anywhere near them. Top price, mediocre (at best) job.
I would have thought almost any paint shop could do your hardtop, there will be hardly any preparation, no masking off, wouldnt need the whole car and no need to "blow it in". A guy in Thornton did the front end of Adam's Elise

I have any paintwork done by a guy local to me in Elvington but haven't noticed any problems reported about Autobodycare in here for a long time. They're obviously still in business so must be keeping some customers happy ;)

Got a scuff!

Yes, done work on several Nyloc cars over the years including full repaints on my Elan and classic Europa.
