    Hi all,

    My name is Sime. I own and run my own niche spraypainting and body repair business – been painting for approx 8 years. I specialise in newer vehicles, however also paint motorcycles, architectural interiors and anything that can be painted that a customer desires. We do old cars as well though – recently I painted a ’67 E-Type Jag.

    We’re a PPG Authorised Refinisher and paint with the Deltron GRS system…..and the D800 and D8210 clear coats.

    In case you’re interested, here are some examples of my work:

    Full colour change respray (from Burgandy to blue):

    Fitted and painted this spoiler on a Renault:

    Custom painted wheels (with a painted pinstripe):

    Custom gloss black wheels:

    Colour coded all the black moulding on this mini (Pepper white). Applied the decals too (at the customer’s request):
