Post up some pictures.

I do Chipsaway in south Nottingham and being big headed im very good.
Essex, I think there is a good chippy there.
Do an online enquiry and you will get linked to your nearest franchisee.
Being a franchise not all techs are good. Try and get 2 years experiance and ask how good will the colour match be. Flat lacquer finish etc etc. This will help you see if the franchisee is confident or not.
We use Ppg aquabase paint and a non iso 2k lacquer both of which are superb.
I'm respraying my whole car at the chipsaway mansfield spray booth next week with this system but using a ISO max Mayer lacquer instead.

Get some pics up and ill price it up.

Thanks for the info. Basically it's a few scratches n one scuff on the front bumper. Was hoping to get someone to come n check it n then quote it?
Pictures don't always show up very well.

I understand that companies don't wana drive around quote all day but I'm just looking for a good sprayer.

Post up some pics. It doesnt matter if its a 3" scuff on the front bumper or a 10" sq ft scuff on the bumper, spray area is the same and same price.
Scratch on a door is a full door respray. If its silver and a long scratch its a full side respray. I usually quote over the phone as a rough idea and its never any more.

Front bumper scuff would be £100-120 + vat.
