Coachlining - North West England

[JamesH]

Hello everyone

 

Not a canal question as such, but hopefully the hive mind will come up trumps. I've got a classic car - 1973 Rover P5B and it's had the doors reskinned and resprayed. From the factory it had painted coach lines. At some stage in its life it had a vinyl stripe applied. I'd like to get a proper painted line applied, but all the car restorers are using vinyl. The added complications are that it has to be a specific colour - it matches the roof colour and it also has to start and terminate in a sharp point rather than a butt end.

I'm located in NW England - if possible someone local would be great.

Bentley have a guy  who does perfect coach lines freehand all day.......I bet they would not want too much for him to do it and they are only at Crewe.

The reason I suggested Phil Speight is that he is also a car enthusiast
