I recently purchased an aftermarket rear bar for the Focus and am looking for a place to paint and install it.
I was just down at the local smash repairs and they told me to look for a more specialised place. I'm looking to get it done sometime in Janurary so I can have it on for the Small Ford Sunday. I was hoping someone could recommend a good place in the eastern burbs of Melbourne??

For obvious reasons I want to find a place who can do a good job matching the paint (There are too many half-a#$#$d places out there). I'm prepared to travel maybe an hour so Hawthorn doesn't sound too bad.
And yeah It is already primed. I'll check it out on the we. Thanks alot.

I dropped the car off at Hawthorn body works Monday mornign and they tell me it is gonna take 2-3 days which is fantastic. I've asked them to paint the grey strip on teh rear bumper at the same time so all up it is gonna cost about $1500. expensive but worth it for a quality job.

They did a great job. Certainly worth the extra $$$.
