Yes. It's worplesdon. I've got mine booked in first week of October. I'll PM details but I can't vouch for the standard of work until I get mine done.
I think the guy is on holiday this week but he has a voicemail.

That's the trouble with the good ones - they are mostly too busy prepping and spraying to answer their phone My local guy has gone to ground - my wife wanted some touch-up work on one of her Golfs done and she's not been able to get hold of him for 3 weeks. Interested in the Guildford connection as the S2000 has got a few parking wounds from small car drivers that still don't know the size of their car

I had an anonymous car-park wing scrape fixed by a man in a shed in Worplesdon a few years ago. He was recommended by a mate. There are one or two sprayers around there so i'm not saying it was the same chap. He was cheap and didn't do a dreadful job (Nurby Blue), but i wasn't happy and in the end he refunded me less cost of materials.
The problem - as he candidly pointed out (after i'd expressed my disappointment) - is that he simply can't use the same paint and doesn't have the facility to achieve the same finish as a fully-equipped properly vented spray shop with an oven. Maybe the fact it was metallic didn't help.
A while later someone drove into me(again!) this time on the other wing, but there were witnesses so it was an insurance job and i got a blow-over for the earlier spray job thrown in. Shalford Coachworks in Godalming. Not cheap but excellent work.
Yer pays yer money...
