Go to your local Taxi rank and ask which body shop they use. Chances are it will be a good quality low priced one as they have to keep the cabs looking clean.
Thats how I found my guy and he is very talented and incredibly cheap.
Interesting train of thought there! All the cabs around my way are absolute scrappers!, would love to see the bodyshop they use, probably consists of a garage, a couple of aerosol paints and a superser
I think il stick with the Yellow Pages

Trouble is, the tiny patch you see is the tip of the iceberg.
It's usually spread well under the paint & much of the metal is compromised.
Rear wheelarches are worse, because it's double-skinned.
You need to grind it back to bright metal, to cure it.
A local indy should do a good job.
So if ever you see a stone chip, scratch, whatever, fill it with touch up paint yesterday.

Yeah, it is 6 years anti corosion, and you have to have everything fixed by a honda approved place for it to be claimed on, so if the rust is from a chip you haven't had fixed, tough.

At least they are taking you seriously and not fobbing you off, so its a start.

I also have a minor problem with a rust bubble on the drivers side door (same as ade73). Its going into Clover Leaf Honda (Ascot) on Tuesday to be repaired (also to have its 27000 mile service). They're doing it free of charge as I bought the car from there but I took a couple of pictures anyway...
I'll get a better one in the light and then take one once its fixed.
