Default Best Central Florida (Orlando) Paint/Body Shop?

Hey guys,

I'm looking to have some paint and body work done to my T/A. I used to use a guy I knew a number of years back, but I've lost track of him. (Which is unfortunate because he did great work)

Anyway, do any of you have any experiences with paint/body shops in the Orlando area that you were happy with?

Thanks!

StreetNstrip automotive does nice work. Me and aaron use them. Aaron just actually paired his car there.

Here is his link with lots of pics that show the work!

Yes whistler is her in Orlando but he doesn't have a paint shop anymore so he can only really do small parts nothing to huge. Im sure he will chime in and if he did have a shop he would be my number one choice to paint my car.

all he usually did was shoot them, I did the rest on just about every car that we did while I was there (model T, 62 continental, kaiser manhatten, aston martin db7, the semi truck, etc)

I'm only looking to have a few panels repainted (to repair some vandalism damage), do you think they'd do that for me? (As in I am not going to do the whole car, can't really afford that right now)

I'll try to talk to him this week.

I've heard that from someone else recently. Hopefully I'll check out a couple shops and find one that suits my needs.
