Spraying in York

Am looking at the rather sad sight of decay starting in the wings and here and there on my Trafalgar Blue minor.

There are a few holes starting on the rear endge of the wings - as well as a few odds and ends that could do with being touched up.

Anyone out there able to recommend a local re-spray place so to get the necessary done?
And on the wings - would I just be better to cut my losses and replace?

Thanks

Chris

try yourself with filler and areosol cans avalible at some minor suppliers.
just mix up the filler spread it on the cleaned sanded rusty area.
let it set, sand it smooth, and spray with can.
wait till the weather gets better, it will be more fun, its not that difficult to get a good finish.
nothing will be lost by trying, the wing is rusty already, you may find filler there already, lots of minors are the same.
live with it untill its time to replace it for real., then get a professional to spray and fit the new wings, and even spray the full car if funds allow, at that time.
