Default Paint?

Does anyone know of a good body place that does a good job of painting a car?

Thanks,
Elliott

How much are you planning to spend? Is this for an entire car or just partial paint (ie. Bumper)? I really believe for the paint job, you get what you paid for...

Very much so. Pay less and you will find out why afterwards.... Painting a car is an art, technique is everything when it comes to outcome.

I recommend Jeff Miller at JMI Motoring. I believe Audi2nr would vouch for him also.
