does anyone know of a good, cheap panel beater around the western sydney area?

why dont u have a go your self its prity easy do if its just minor and it saves a lot of money

it also makes you feel like you have done something that you can be proad of too

If your a first timer and you don't have access to a spray booth or a decent shed with good ventilation and exhaust fans stay away from 2 pak. Use acrylic especially with color as its a lot more forgiving for beginners. If its rust repairs you want done.Ask other members in your area about there experiences with panel shops around the region. Have worked in many panel shops over the years as a lackey doing all the putty and fiberglass work and i still use Acrylics Except for primer i use 2 pak it resists weather as it hardens. There are also books in Library's that can get you started and have some really good tips and tricks.
P.S You get what you pay for. Pay peanuts and you will get a monkey.

follow all safety instructions to the letter. paints are nasty. solvents can absorb through skin. many are carcinogenic.
