best place for bumper repaint in gold coast/brisbane area for 40th anniversary edn

munz · 05-26-2012, 01:30 AM

someone reversed into my mint condition parked car (engine running, lights on) and i was just wondering since i have a police incident report (the other driver was booked for DUI) would anyone know the best place to take the car on the gold coast? the damage is minor (not so minor for me though), a few scratches along the edge of the bonnet, bumper, broken licence plate and possibly dents along that area which can only be seen once the licence plate cover is removed, but i want to take it to the right place.

nissan southport suggested gemini ashmore but i wanted to get a few opinions before i proceed, especially since it's the 40th anniversary edition (special paint for that limited edition release).

Ask the same question on Zclub - Australia's Largest Nissan 370Z and Nissan 350Z Forum - you will get better coverage as there are a lot of SE Queenslanders there.

looks like our resident website is down!

There was a panel beaters near the old M&S motorsports (near the southport school) which I used regularly. He has done 3 of my cars there now with only one minor screw up. (Didn't repair indicator properly).

1 of them was a minor prang (bumper and sideskirt)
1 of them was a huge prang (rolled vehicle)
1 of them was a custom paint job

Not cheap, but their turn around is excellent. The custom paint job turn around was 2 days.
