Almost everybody I've talked to is hit or miss around here. I'm sure that RPM could give you guys a decent referal, or maybe even frost (tunebyfrost.com) but one place I did find that I'm working with right now is: www.customchromeofva.com I found them on the craigslist thing under automotive services. After talking to a few of the people there, they seem to know their ****!

Any names you recommend? That's the point of the thread... There seems to be a fair amount of interest. Seems like 3-4 customers sitting on this forum, in this very thread!

That'd be good. There's got to be SOME PLACE that does nice paint work in this area! Preferbly in the No. VA area, but I would be will to drive a bit. I guess it depends.

i dont think he wants to drive 3 hours just to have his car painted. thats a bit much. there are plenty of good reputable shops in nova.

Chantilly auto body, craftsman autobody in leesburg are two i know of. i know people who work at craftsman and they do a great job.

bummer, they seem to be mostly a production shop with insurance companies now a days so I think the quality has suffered. I've seen that WS6 a few times and talked with him, he seems like a cool guy. On a side not I heard stingray is a good shop to get custom work done at.
