I had a full respray on my 350z and the results are absolutely outstanding - literally the best paint shop in South Wales. They also do wheels, repairs, mopping (Removing swirl marks) and custom builds so well worth checking out.

Will and the team done an excellent job painting my front bumper and rear lip, I’ve struggled to find a bodyshop that completed work to a high standard with no paint runs and a perfect match, but after using Up To Scratch I have finally found one and will be returning here for many years to come.
