Looking for recommendations for a paint/repair shop. I need my hood fixed and repainted along with some other stuff repainted color matching of the entire car. I got 1 quote already and it's just under 2k def going to shop around and see what I can come up with.

What's your budget?

2ND_GEN_2001 · 03-16-2012, 05:31 AM

I would like to stay under or around 1500. It's only the hood that needs repainted and color match a door to the rest of the car. Like I said I got a quite for just under 2k yesterday.

That sounds about what I would expect.

I'm going to get a few more quotes an go from there. I wanted to see if anyone had a good experience at a shop that could vouch for that's really all I wanted to know. Thanks for the reply.

Check out Lip Collision. I hear nothing but good things about them on the forum.

It would probably help people out if they knew what part of pa you were looking for a shop in.

$1500?? that should be enough to get you a new hood and the entire car repainted!!!

2ND_GEN_2001 · 03-17-2012, 08:39 AM

I am in the northeast. And I went to 3d collision in spring city got the first quote. The price seems too damn high for what is involved but that's why I am going to continue getting quotes and asking for recommendations.
To paint the whole car they said 4-5K.

LIP Collision is a vendor on the forum. Check them out and give them a call! Might be a short trip for you but it's def worth it. One of the best shops in the area and the people couldnt be nicer.

They are actually going to be the 3rd place I go to get an estimate. Already set up a appt with grand sport autobody in collegeville. It seems that lip is the place alot of people are recommending so I'm def gonna give them a call. Thanks to everyone who has replied. I'll update with the results but for now keep the recommendations coming.
