Just got my first Minor ('64 Duotone 4 door in black) which is (touches wood...) running pretty well and fairly tidy inside. I have a few issues with bodywork though.
Bootlid has been extensively rebuilt with filler which has decided to flake off along the bottom edge - there are a few bursts higher up where it looks like it's been reversed into something. I'm looking for a replacement and wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere in NW London or nearby to do the inevitable painting? (I don't have access to a garage and the Mrs will kill me if I use the living room and besides I've never spray painted a thing in my life)
Other similar issue is on the nearside door. It has been replaced at some time and re-painted with something the thickness of toffee. It's now flaking pretty badly along the curve that follows over from the wing. What's the best solution here - do I remove as much of the flaking stuff as possible and attempt to fill and feather in or go for something more drastic?
Thanks in advance

P.S. If anyone happens to have a boot lid for sale please give me a shout?
