Auto body paint recommendations?

Morning all - Merry Christmas Eve

One of my January 2014 projects is a new paint job for my MINI van. I've had Maaco do some jobs in the past but thought I'd throw it out to the experts to see what other shops are out there that you might suggest or have experience with, Littleton area preferred.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and consideration.

Motor on..

Chris

Tony Martin's place who was a MITM 2013 sponsor in Avon, he does lots of older cars (Classics), might be looking for some Van work on the slow times.

Check out the MITM sponsors page online.

Here is Tony's website: http://www.rallyecoachworks.com/AboutUs.html

Ferney has seen his work and recommends him highly! Also, he is apparently moving to a larger and better equipped location near Santa Fe and Dartmouth, though I am not sure when. He is currently right by our shop on Santa Fe near Belleview. Best of luck with your project!

Don't over look your local Maaco center. The Littleton, CO center is Maaco's number one center. Speak to the owner Brian Greenly and let him know Dale Blankenship from the Hampton, VA center referred ya. He's an I-CAR gold class shop (we are too) and like us, is a direct repair center for several insurance companies.

Hey Chris, if you aren't opposed to dropping your van off in Henderson, Im sure my buddy can fit it in amongst the 3 classic Mustangs that are in the shop right now. Look up C&D Auto Body (its a really small shop) or I can get you Danny's # tomorrow some time. His rates are reasonable, but they can be a little slow at times. Good work though.
