    Williams Bodywork Blowover

    Im looking to get the rear arches sorted on the williams before they get worse and i thought while im at it i could treat the rest of the car to a blow over.

    At the moment the drivers side rear arch has a small 10p size bit of surface rust and on the pass side there is a bit of surface on the door shut about 2in up from the sill.

    Can anyone on here recommend anyone that would be able to sort the arches and carry out a blow over on the rest of the car.

    Thought id ask on here as id rather go with someone another member has used with good results

    I have heard that blow overs are not worth it.

    .......

    when getting a full respray the car is completely stripped

    where as a blow over everything is just masked off and where its masked eg..rubbers the laquer tends to peel off..........................this happens in most cases but not in others---entirely up to yourself

    this is exactly what i was going to do. I can easily have the windows/rubbers removed before dropping the car off. Dont see the point in having a blow over done leaving them in
