Peter; Agreed upon your choices 100% as I've seen your Betrand, and Mercian did a very nice job. My 1938 Competition is at Argos, as they've worked on a number friends projects, so I picked them for the Competition.
Glen at Cleveland Bikespray did an excellent total restoration including repaint, rechroming as needed, transfer application, lug and very fine boxlining on my 1938 Anglo Continental, so I would definitely give him more work as well. Glen's chromer does exceptional work.

While I've not had first-hand experience with Bob Jackson restorations, I have seen their respray work and it is top notch.
I HAVE had work done by Mercian's in Derby---http://www.merciancycles.com/renovation.asp
----and they did a lovely job on a very detailed request, using genuine enamels. They have a color chart which you can download.
Two other finishers I know of with excellent reputations are Argos Cycles----http://www.argoscycles.co.uk/ (they also have a color chart) ----and Cleveland Bike Spray----http://www.clevelandbikespray.com
Reproduction transfers can usually be obtained through the painter, or else through Nick at H Lloyd Cycles----
