Default Paint shop in Houston?

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the Houston area? I was going to get the front bumper on my Formula I just bought fixed but I think I may just get the whole car repainted and all of the small dents fixed now.

Well if it is really bad it might be worth it, but I would be real careful and don't just look for the cheapest. Richey collision does good work from what I've seen they may be like Lane's and not into complete paints so just give them a ring first. Good luck.

Richey does complete repaints, I've asked before.

I had to get 3 quotes, but I got 4 for a bumper on my wife's car and Richey was one of them. All I can say is the cars he has laying around seem to be really a top notch job, pretty friendly guy and he was the 2nd lowest bid I got. The 1st bid was beat by only $100 and this was some shoddy looking body shop off somewhere around Breen road with dust/dirt kicking all around when you drove up.

Another vote for Richey Collision. They have worked on my girls car a few times and got the metallic color to match perfect each time.

I'll call Richey today and let them decide if the whole car should be repainted or if they can just fix the small spots that need fixing.

Richey painted this car for my father about 2 years ago. Absolutely phenomenal job. He literally went over the car with a magnifying glass to remove any light scratches. He also painted my dads 98 C5 vert for him, once again absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend them.

another plus for Richey, the did work on my 2005 gto and the color came back spot on. They are great people, and my C6 will be there sometime soon for some slight repair. I tried calling them all day, but no answer...were they open today??
