Steel and Paint Suppliers In Nottingham
Gordon Flint - 8/5/02 at 03:10 PM

Hi to everyone, I've been reading the posts for the last few weeks and the members seem very helpful, so here goes.

Can anyone recommend a steel supplier and a car paint supplier either in the Nottingam or Sheffield area.

Thanks in advance for any help provided

Welcome Gordon,

I'm not from the area but have you tried the yellow pages under Motor Factors for Paint supplies and Steel Stockholders for you r metal. It'll give you a starting point.

Isnt asking for steel in Sheffield a bit like asking for coal in Newcastle?

Oh, I forgot.....we shagged our heavy industries. Better try billy wong shipbuilders in Taiwan.

Gordon,

I have half an answer for you... there's a mail order supply house based in Nottingham that can supply various bits of metal. Prices look reasonable for cut lengths, and it's free delivery within a few miles of Nottingham. Note that they will never be as cheap as buying standard lengths from steel stockholders - but perhaps they'll sell whole lengths to visitors?.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Jon I'd be glad to chat to you about locating parts in this area, can you e-mail me when you have time.

I'll check out Hillsborough Steel and that website.

B+M steel in Nottingham is very good, will cut to length and price is pretty good.

Peter north east in sandiacre in nottingham used to supply paint, not sure if they still do I know it was getting a bit costly for them.
