SPRAY PAINTING - RESTORATIONS - DENT REMOVAL - AUTO PAINTING
Refinished 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3
Over the last 10 or so years, Andy Lyman, proprietor of Advanced Auto Refinishers, has repainted fully or partly, 5 of my collector cars, recently culminating in a 'bare metal' repair and two-tone repaint of my cherished 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3. In addition to the painting, Andy facilitated specialist rust repairs and highly skilled panel beating; he also did a significant amount of work on all other parts of the car, removed, replaced or reattached during the strip down process.
The result is stunning and I feel certain that the finish is at least the equal of that achieved by Rolls themselves. Indeed, one of my previous cars, a Bentley that Andy had repainted certain areas of, was advertised for sale by a marque specialist as possessing "entirely original paintwork"; such is the quality of his work.
Andy is not just a painter, he is a guy who cares deeply about the cars and people who own them; TO ME, HE IS THE "GOLD STANDARD" FOR CLASSIC CAR RESTORATION -- Chris F
If you're into cars or any automotive vehicle for that matter, you have got to check out Advanced Auto Refinishers. I called Andrew, the owner of the shop and discussed that I would like to have a spoiler painted in a particular way, fitted and installed. A pleasant phone call with crystal clear instructions of the ballpark figure of the job, booking time, drop off and pick up. I was told to drop the car off at 8AM in the morning, which I did and met Andrew. He took the car and told me roughly when to come back to pick it up (around mid day). Surprisingly, he managed to complete the job well before mid day and exceeded my expectations when I arrived at the shop and saw the completed job. The spoiler was professionally painted, fitted and installed. He told me what he had done, the steps and products used. Advanced Auto Refinishers was highly recommended by my mechanic. As someone that is based in Auckland and the shop is in Warkworth, DO NOT let the distance sway you as the service they give you is so outstanding.

Andy Lyman at Advanced Auto Refinishers has now painted two classic Citroen’s for me. A 1956 2CV and a 1980 GSA. The 2CV was a ground up restoration. Andy made a swan out of an ugly duckling with his unmatched attention to every detail from the chassis paint to the seat frames. Insisting on seam sealing every possible crevice to ensure rust protection and a durable finish. That same attention to detail was applied recently to the GSA which looks like a new vehicle now. I couldn’t be more proud of both cars. I’m happy to recommend Andy to anyone contemplating the proper completion of an Auto Restoration.
