Default Reputable Paint Shops

I am currently in the process of restoring MY 00 and wanting to have a full body respray from NFR to Matte Black and am looking for a good paint shop that will not gouge on prices. I know you pay for perfection, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also, if by chance they do body work as well. I have a left rear quarter panel that needs to be cut of and a new one put one.

Matte black is a very tough color to pull off on paint. Paint shops charge a premium on matte colors if they're done right. Otherwise it looks streaky and weird. If it was me, I would go plastidip on any matte colors. I've plastidipped an entire F150 matte black and it turned out nicely. Touch ups are easier also.

You do pay for what you get.

Can't recommend DTM. Saw a car painted by them...absolutely no attention to detail. They obviously don't use the same guys for the Ferraris as they do for the S2k. But, as I said, you pay for what you get.

"Perfect" full repaints will cost your $6-9K.
