When I visited there they had powder blue Lamborghini with matching powder blue wheels and were in the middle of fixing a AM Vantage that looked like it was damaged in shipping because it had long, deep dents going across the roof and onto the rear quarter panel!
Maybe the shop (Quality Auto Body) can refer you to a smaller shop they feed business too. Let us know because I have to repaint my rear bumper but I'm thinking about waiting until I can get my hands a Euro spec 03-04 rear bumper.

I learned how to paint repainting a vette years ago. I've been going through interior parts spraying with 3 coats color and 8 coats clear. I'm almost done. Original paint/clear. The paint is expensive but it's much fun learning doing it yourself.
