Paint/Body Work Questions Answered!

[hooddub]

Note: I no longer represent Cosmos Collision!

Hey guys,

I am an auto body guy, and this thread is for any and all questions/discussions related to body work. I am most useful when it comes to prep and paint work, however I have some knowledge in the body area too!
Feel free to post questions, concerns or ask for advice! I will answer to the best of my ability! If I can't answer your question I can always ask someone who does.
I can also answer questions regarding polishing, paint care and detailing as I am very experienced in those areas!

Cheers, Evan

This should be a great thread - thanks for starting it.

I'm not in the market for paint yet… but does Loc do custom body work too or is his focus quality restoration?

No problem! And yeah you bet we do custom work! Although I'm not 100% sure on what degree of custom work we do, we can do shaved handles and badges and mix a custom colour etc.. But anything past that you would have to call and find out from Loc or Martin (our shop foreman)

We do a little of everything though, we have old cars being restored quite frequently, Loc even just picked up a VW Half Cab from California which is being restored right now!

Nice. I'll pop in when I get closer to actually needing the work done.

A couple years ago he tackled a Cobra build that no one else would touch… did an amazing job. Ask Loc about Bruce's Cobra - he'll remember

Danny, I'll get a quote for you, tomorrow if possible (loc wasn't in today so I never got the chance). Is there any damage that needs to be noted or is it just new paint you're after?

Nope, should just be paint. Looks like the previous owner did a sh*tty re spray on the front bumper

I just talked to Loc and he said best thing would be to come in for an estimate. Call in and set up an appointment with Loc, make sure to mention you are a eurodrivers member and he'll quote you on a respray!
