Question Recommendation on body shops in the Houston/TexasCity/Beaumont area

Trying to locate a good body shop in my area to take on a color change on my 2002 WS6 Trans Am. Thanks in advance for the input.

Rick has always taken care of my car. He simply loves GM cars and he has done MANY Vett's, T/A's and Camaro's. He has the experience you are looking for. His is in the middle of transitioning his website...

Thanks for the input guys. Texas-Firehawk, what color did you change from? My TA is currently Pewter, but I want to go with a Kandy blue paint scheme for show. Texas-Firefly and Blackfly, what did you do exactly with the paint on your cars? Thanks for the input.

both Blackfly and I stayed with the same color but both shops seem to do a great job. If you look at my photos you will see what I went from and to.

Thanks everyone for the input, that beats what options are available for me in the Beaumont/Port Arthur area. I don't mind having to go over to the Houston area to get this part of the project done. Living in High Island is roughly half way either way.

Rick is the only one that I let paint my car.

He has "touched up" my car before any major car show I have attended (Autorama, Luckenbach) He also painted my hood scoop.

About a year ago he repainted my entire front clip as it was damaged from a shower (not an exaggeration) of pebbles while on a cruise to the Texas Mile in Goliad Texas.

Rick has also installed all my suspension parts and his Mechanic built my engine (specked-out by Patrick G.)

Rick also ordered my Budnik wheels, ordered and installed my LE two-tone seats and painted some parts under my hood and repainted my STB.

Next time you head out to C&C on Saturday, setup an appointment with Rick just to talk to him about your car. He is very passionate about his business and I know he has done MANY F-bodies.
