Default NJ People Help... Body Shop

OK, So I bought my 98 T/A in august of last year, 7 days until it's 1 year birthday!!

Anyway, last weekend I pulled off the door molding, and pinstripes, along with a black strip on both doors so that it would scratch another door. And guess what, all of that stuff was hiding all kinds of scratches, and dirt problems. Dirt problems you ask? Oh, the front end was repainted, different color white, and I guess they painted right over the molding, or something, because when I took it off, I couldn't get the ring of dirt out, so I kept scrubbing and wiping and scrubbing and wiping, and next thing you know, this clear flakey stuff started coming up. Yeah the clear coat. So anyway, I'm pretty happy about the 3 toned white car I have, and was wondering if anyone, in NJ or surrounding areas, knew of a good body shop, to help me get rid of dings and repaint the car one color. I also need to paint the hood.

Thanks in advance....!!

Ultimate Collision off Rt1 in Edison (may be the town if not very close by) does really nice work. I've seen a few f-bods from there and they were stunning.

country classic in Watage or Fonzarellis in Hampton. Both are in sussex county (north) Both shops do insane work. A lot of highclass cars have come out of these shops.

thanks!! I'm going to be making some calls tomorrow. I appreciate it guys! Oh, and I know about Maaco. I had an 89 mustang, got my pony rims painted, 3 weeks later went to the car wash, the sprayer just basically chipped the paint right off.

Be careful of Ultimate Collision. They charge up the ***. We've had our ford 500 rear bumper repaired twice (rear ended twice :'( ) at Heavenly Bodyworks in Woodbridge, Middlesex County. Good work. Taking my TA there soon (rear ended :'( ) and in the future to get it repainted.

jeez man, what's going on? sorry to hear about all the rear ends you keep getting... Usually that's a good thing.

Thanks! I'm glad I have a few places to call and maybe stop in and see, so I can get some numbers to crunch.
