These guys fixed my wifes blue Corolla (2010). Had back tailgate and bumper replaced. Came recommended by the MX5 and Rexy Forums.
Car was cleaned and vacuumed when I picked it up. Few weeks later noticed the paint on tailgate was a bit darker than rest of the car under certain light conditions.
After speaking to Cton, rang up and spoke to the boss and he was quite shocked that it wasn’t picked up beforehand.
Told me to bring back the car and they would offer a hire car for the inconvenience. Few days and it was good as gold.

Great work. My car came out better than even before it had hail damage on it. No hassle with insurance claims. Did all that for me.

Used these guys to fix some minor paint damage to the front LHS of my bumper. Was a 10cm scratch down to the black poly. Booked them only a few days in advance. The guy rocked up in his van on time with all the kit in it (including paint tinting gear). He worked on my car while it was in the garage. Took him about 2 hours to rub the scratch back, prep and mask off the area, colour-match the paint (he didn't trust the tint that was in his system, so took some extra time to tweak it), spray, clear coat, and then quick dry with IR heat lamps. The finish was brilliant. Would never know there was a scratch there. Colour match was spot on and clear coat was impeccably smooth. All in all the cost was $200. Very pleased with the work done.

Word of warning though. If you do get this done (with any of these mobile services), throw some sheets over the car to avoid any overspray getting on other panels. I did notice some overspray on the bonnet and roof in particular, which left the paint surface rough. Some Meguiars Ultimate Compound and a little elbow grease took it right off though. Will be throwing sheets over the car though if I get them back in the future

Cheers Justin but this one was Mech81's idea! I think both threads should prove quite useful, especially for new owners or those who want mods installed.
Sure no worries, feel free to add details directly into the first thread if you like, if not just post them below and I'll pretty them up and insert to first post when I find time.

The place Cton works they (read He) did a great job on the scratch on my VR Gen 2 that it had on the lower front bumper. Great colour match as well.
