My Z is nearly 5 years old. It only has 25K on it but the front is starting to show a lot of road rash (bumper, hood, front fenders). I also have a few tiny paint chips on the sides where a small pebble must have grazed the paint.

I'm thinking of taking it into a paint shop and having them repaint the bumper, hood and front fenders and detail the sides if that's possible. Does anyone know of a good professional paint shop in my area? I don't want to take it to just anybody but someone who has a good reputation for skill and quality.

I live in Silver Spring, MD just north of DC.

Thanks

great guys great work, tell them goofball sent you and they will take care of you!

 

Well there have only been about 5 of these threads over the past couple months... if none of those have helped you yet I doubt this thread will be of much use.

 

Another thread!?!?!

 

Just go to Base Auto Body!

 

My thread was moved here from the Exterior/Interior forum section. There are not "a lot of threads like this in the past couple months" there. Why would I look for answers to a paint question in the Mid-Atlantic section? Intuition alone suggests going to the Exterior/Interior section for paint questions. Cut me some slack people. The only reason this thread is here is because I asked for some suggestions local to where I live but it's still not the first place I would go to ask. Jeez.

 

awesome, at this rate we might have a weekly, "where to take my car to get painted" thread!

please search regional threads if asking for shops in your area.
this link will help.

 

Thanks for the tip. I gave them a call and talked for about 45 minutes. I will go with them when the time comes. They will repaint the bumper, hood, front fenders, and both doors for roughly $3K based on what I told them over the phone.

Saw your car on the site...nice. Mine is stock Daytona Blue with the OEM chrome 5 spoke wheels. Never really felt the need to change anything. When all shined up, the car pops! I only drive it about 5K a year so at this rate it will have 60K when it's 12 years old.

 

Maybe there should be a sticky with commonly asked DMV questions.... just saying

 

Fantastic! I agree with you about how the car pops! Daytona blue is def one of my favorite colors! I went extreme because I wanted some change from my old set up and I'm an extreme character...I got into an accident last winter so it expedited my upgrades!

 

D & V Autobody in VA. Talk to Kevin.

 

^^^^^^
This.

 

Base Auto Body work

 

I decided to go with D&V after all. They specialize in exotic cars and have an incredible reputation. They also beat the Base Autobody estimate I got without knowing it by about $400. I'm getting the entire front half of the car done and having a clear bra installed as well (Ventureshield). Dropping it off on August 13th...can hardly wait to see the results.
