Literally just spoken to my panel and car sprayer as I’m doing something for him after a year or so. He is a top notch body repairer and painter of various old, sporty ,classic cars. Have seen lots of stuff in his place . He might do my car but I never like to mix business with ‘pleasure’ . He might even be tempted to buy the car as he has mentioned it. That said I asked him about current projects, an old defender (tricky due to rivets!?) ,, some exotic Fiat, Maserati. and without a prompt he said that prices had dropped 25% on classic cars ( or certainly his clients have told him) . He said, trouble is our prices and labour continue to rise - a perfect storm in the market. Perhaps he was ‘priming’ me for a low offer !!!?
