Paint that
holds the light

Cars, bikes and anything else that stays put. If it sits still long enough, we’ll paint it.

The colour

Any shade you can name.
And the ones you can’t.

We mix on the Novol spectral colour system, so a repair on a fifteen-year-old panel meets the rest of the car without a seam in sight.

Factory match, laid down over three coats and baked hard.

  • Signal Red
  • Ivory Pearl
  • Gunmetal Flake
  • Heritage Green
  • Candy Copper
  • Midnight Steel
  • Solid Black

What we do

No job too big.
None too fiddly.

Vehicle body repairs of any size — full resprays down to a bumper scuff — at the highest quality for a genuinely reasonable price.

01

Full resprays

Bare metal up, or panel by panel. Colour matched, laid down in a controlled booth and baked hard so it stays put.

02

Restorations

Long jobs, patient work. Rust cut out, panels made good, then a finish that reads like it left the factory — only better.

03

Body kits & coding

Kits fitted, aligned and colour coded so the joins disappear and the whole car reads as one piece.

04

Tanks & fairings

Bike tanks, fairings, frames and covers. Small panels with nowhere to hide — which is exactly why we like them.

05

Accident repair

Structural and cosmetic damage put right. All insurance work undertaken, with the quality guaranteed in writing.

Also through the booth

  • Wheel refurbishment
  • Bumper scuffs
  • Vans & commercial
  • Machine polishing
  • Kitchens & furniture

Same booth, same standards. Cabinet doors get the finish a bonnet gets.

Just had my orange VW T5 repaired by Mark after some damage to the OS rear quarter. OUTSTANDING work, so pleased with the result, I’m so chuffed to have it back to good. Mark is a paintwork wizard. Definitely recommend Willoughbys Bespoke Paintwork.

From start to finish, Willoughby's were professional, efficient and passionate about doing the job to the highest standards. Mark is very knowledgable and always knew when to consult me on decisions. He pays such close attention to detail and is a perfectionist. He explained everything clearly, worked to keep costs low without sacrificing quality, advised me on parts, kept me updated on his progress, and most importantly did an amazing job on my car. I was nervous about getting it done but he cared for my Golf as if it was his own and totally transformed it. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
