Default I need recommendations for paint & body shop in Austin.

I recently purchased a new front bumper, sideskirts, and rear skirt. I need recommendations for a good paint and body shop in Austin that will not only paint, but also install well. I have heard that Jeff's Auto Body Repair on N. Lamar is really good. Any other recommendations?

Besides Jeff's, I've had good luck with CRC on N. Lamar. Another club member had their Z32 fully repainted there and they did a good job.

You might also try Anhilaytor Customs on I-35 Just south of Braker Lane.

I am still waiting on the Kuruma bumper to get here. I got a quote from Jeff's for the bumper and sideskirts and it was high ($1000). I haven't shopped around any more, I will this weekend.

annihilator customs took a while but they did a great paint match on my ultra yellow paint job. Had that vented carbon fibre hood of mine painted. I will be at the 1325 & i-35 round rock hooters tonight if you want to take a look. (7-10pm).

Out of town this week for work. Do you know about how much it'll run to wet sand a few scrapes on the bumper and repaint it CS?

id think 350 or less. I had them p[aint a CF hood and repair some really bad key marks on the back of my car. It totalled 750 and they ended up repainting a good 1/3 of my car after all the blending was done. The paint is about 4 months old now and is of a better (read thicker) quality than the stock nissan paint. But you can only tell after a rock hits your paint and only scratches it as opposed to the paint just flaking off all together.

whatever shop you pick, make sure you ask them to use Dupon or PPG paint. It will gives you the perfect color matching.
