I Have BMW insurance through Allianz... they recommended Paddington Prestige at Alexandria...though I had to take my car back again after they missed a repair..also their buffing leaves something to be desired...so I can't recommend them... who is your insurer ?

hey, My insurer???NRMA...

i heard that paddington prestige do a good job on paint work...isn't it?

anyway did u see the photo that i post on the forum???
do you think i should get the rear bar spray in body colour?what do you think?

Paint job ok.. They buffed the boonet and placed buff marks in it that I am now going to detail out, I have sapphire black which is the worst for these type of things... they are very eager to please... No I don't think paint your rear bumper... if anything the aero kit looks great on silver...

Thanks for the reply, and idea how much would it cost to get the front bumper sprayed in body colour as well?


thanks...

Your happy because ESR had heaps of practice on my car before working on yours!
Seriously ESR are really nice people especially the owner Derek, I had my first BM repair carried out there but unfortunately it didn't turn out great, their painter though is one of the best in Sydney.

If your on the south side then these guys are brilliant and they have a workshop to suit;
O’Briens Auto Body Repairs
37-39 Parraweena Road
Caringbah NSW 2229
