Getting a Car Painted
Permalink  
 

I'm thinking about getting the wagon painted because its starting to blister on the bottom of the doors and there are a few war wounds here and there.  I went to a local body shop who I've dealt with in the past because they actually did bodywork and not just replaced panels.  He said he's out of that game now and just basically does insurance work and replaces panels.  He said theres not many guys now doing what I want because they're losing their shirts when quoting jobs and then finding all kinds of hidden horrors when they get in to the job.  He recommend I find a restoration shop that will work on a time and materials basis and take the car down to bare metal and start fresh.  Now I'm not looking for the Maaco $499 special but I don't really want to take it to bare metal.  Is there anyone out there doing what I want?  Or am I totally dreaming?

Your not dreaming. Just harder to find than a three nipple four breasted woodpecker

I deliver to a couple of guys that work out of their shops at home....One is Tor H (last name eludes me, but starts with H).....He is in Salem out near Teeswater...phone 519-392-6598
The other one lives near Mildmay.....R & T Hoffele (519) 367-3155   288 Concession 8 W Mildmay ON N0G2J0

I dont know how expensive they are or if they even would be interested, but it looks to me like they do nice work and work on the older stuff a lot.

Nice to hear there are some places    

My 99 Sierra needs the clear coat re-sprayed    

I checked with 4 shops in this area    

NONE will touch it for at least a year   ......

no rust   all parts removed by me   sand and paint     cash     and they are too busy......  

 

I almost bought a 69 427 Bel Air with mint driveline and needing some touch up    I passed as no one would touch it

Thanks for the input guys. With the leaves starting to fall, maybe I'll find that 3 nipple 4 breasted woodpecker!
