Default Looking for a good paint/body shop in/around Houston Texas

This is a copy/paste post from my build thread on the truck site. Really just looking for someone who knows wtf they are doing and won't have my truck in body jail for 3 years.

Can anyone suggest a very good paint/body shop in/around the Houston area?

I've got some issues going on with the bed that I would like fixed and I think the best solution is either to replace the bed sides or cut out the outside wheel well and fit up factory replacements.

I'd probably go ahead and have them touch up a few scratches as well. Or hell maybe a whole new paint job at that point. Anyone remember these renderings i had done?

Lane's Hi-Tech Auto Collision, it's in South Houston. The guys here recommended him to me. He fixed some fender damage on my 99 vette, repainted the fender and door, paint matches perfectly. There's no orange peel, He laid the paint on perfectly. Plus I had the car back in three days. He'll definitely get all my business in the future.

I've also had work done by Apollo Paint & Body in south houston and Main Street Paint & Body in Pearland and was not only unimpressed but mad. I could go into that but don't see any reason to right bow

I think Richie Collison seems to get great reviews on the site as well.

Main street.....had an 84 El Camino I had them paint. Before I dropped it off to them, someone threw a wad of gum in the bed. I figured they were going to sand it down anyway so I left it. They didn't even pull the gum up. they just painted right over it.

All the horror stories I hear about that place, I can't believe they're still around

Yeah they jacked my mustang up using the radiator core support. The pic below is from when I was fixing it. It was about 2 times worse than this pic before I started straightening it back out. I also have chrome tail pipes from the mufflers back and they painted them yellow and then to cover that up painted them black, forgot to paint the mirrors and shave the antenna, got paint on the cowl and weatherstripping, plus a bunch of other stuff. But the core support is what ticked me off the most.

RF Customs in Spring (off Sawdust Rd) did excellent work on my firewall and Tony (Nine Ball) 1969 camaro paint job.

I'd say give him a call. His name is Ray.
Address: 1622 Sawdust Rd, Spring, TX 77380
Phone281) 719-8189

They're right behind Smilies actually.

I used Masters in South West Houston, they did a killer job on my Trans Am and had the car done pretty quick, around a month time frame for a complete repaint.

Yep, Ray does excellent work. For the quality he is reasonably priced.

First collision in Baytown Tx, Guy named Mitchell lawrance. Knows his **** and will NOT leave a orange peel'd mess. Took me a while to find a body shop that would do my car to my liking and will be using him from now on.

I have had great work done at Apollo in Stafford. Ask for Oscar and tell them Wes set u. He has done a good job on my 2010 black cts-v a few times. Good prices.
Check out the shops and go wth the one you feel most comfortable.
Turn around time has been quick for me.

why do you not try to wrap by yourself, it's easy, just buy car vinyl and vehicle wrapping tools, and you'll finish your wrapping in the weekend days.

if you want a full paint job check out rushbikes.com Marcel is the owner. Good guy, top notch communication. Only takes one or two vehicles at a time. Painted a few cars for camaro concepts and GAP racing. He is on face book. Doing my 69 now. He does custom trucks and motorcycles as well.
