Thread: Best paint shop in VA (Hampton Roads are would be nice)?

Tweet

I cannot friggin believe this. I spent $7k having a factory color paint job at a primo shop using Glasurit on my car (well, and the front windsheild and the back glass were part of that price). I was saving up for a programmable warm up regulator (the last part needed to get the modified engine I put in the car running perfectly) because I had spent every single last penny I have on my baby. It was painted just one year ago. I garage the car, wash it every week, and wax it every month.

Today, some [expletive deleted] t-boned it while it was parked. So, now I'm going to have to sell a gun or two to get it fixed. Some minor damage on the front passenger door lower molding and the rear door is shot, paint scratched but more importantly the door is curved into the car about a foot, it's done. Welcome home for Thanksgiving I guess.

So, is there a good, and by good I mean exceptional shop in VA, preference for Hampton Roads area? It is an absolute requirement that the shop use glasurit and that the shop be intimately familiar with 1980's Mercedes and only use factory parts. If not, I'll drive it to the shop that did it the repaint in NC, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to do that.

I guess I'll be selling my rifles to pay for it. I realize that I just said I spent every penny I had on the thing, but I have saved up most of the way towards the programmable warm up regulator and my rifles are worth a decent amount, I want the best darn shop there is, and if there isn't one in VA I'll go out of the state. I don't want good or good for the money, I want amazing.

Son of a gun. That car is my everything. I love that car more than people love their children. If someone said that smashing my left hand with a hammer (so I could still shift from park to D) would magically fix it, I'd be smashing my left hand with a hammer right now.
