Painting, Essex area?

I've just had a quotation to repaint my GTD.
£2,400 including materials!
Now that seems a bit exessive to me when was going to remove all the parts (lights, door handles, windows, sills etc) AND rub it down in preparation for paint (I used to work in a bodyshop many moons ago, so know how to prepare it correctly) I was even going to deliver it on a trailer!
All that they would have to do would be mask it up (blimey I could even do that) and paint it.
Can anyone recommend a painter (pref s/e uk) who will just paint for a reasonable price?
Thanks

Simon

I'll Be Taking Mine To A Bloke Near Epping In About 6 Weeks He's Quoted £1500 To Do All The Prep Work I.e Flash Lines And The Like, Gap The Doors Boot & Bonnet. The Price Also Includes The Stripes. He's Supposed To Be Realy Good And Was Recomended By Someone That Had A Couple Of Ferraris Painted By Him. I'll Let You Know How I Got On In About 8 Weeks Time.

Simon.... may be a bit late: Try the Moorings Bodyshop nr Hornchurch on the London bound side of A127. Tel 01708 457348. They have experience of Cobra's... in fact I think the owner of the adjoining MOT garage has a serious Cobra.

They were recommended to me by a guy from the Aston garage (Grange Motors) in Brentwood.

Mark,
