Vintage Board Restoration

I'm looking at getting one of my dad's old boards repaired/restored. Does anyone know someone (preferably NSW) who does quality work and colour matching? It's got a decent ding from a fin on the underside and the swallow tail is a bit soft, but the rest only needs a light polish.
I should probably add that it's not your standard board but a '78 Jim Banks Clean Lines twinnie that dad had made for him while working at G&S. Cost or time isn't an issue.

I've chatted with Dave Platt about getting some work done but eventually abandoned the idea, lives Gosford/Central Coast area.
