Reputable shop for painting OEM hood in NoVA
I'm considering getting an OEM hood and looking to find a shop that would be willing to strip/prep/paint a used OEM hood that I am considering purchasing. It's painted Sparkling Graphite but, I need it to be Space Grey Metallic. Anyone have any recommendations in the Sterling/Herndon/Reston area? Got a quote for like $600 which would include blending with the current paint. To me, that sounds outrageous!
Thanks for your help. Cheers - Ryan

Ryan,
Call D&V and ask to talk to Ron or Kevin. Tell him you are a friend of mine and to hook you up.

freddys autobody in Woodbridge, he owns a LCI 335i and did my m3 bumper for a great price. He works on all the dealerships car in that area which is good enough for me.

+1 for D&V... Ron is a good guy and will give you a fair price... I have also worked with Andrew who is also a stand up guy but works below Ron

While D&V is a competent and talented shop, I'm of the opinion their heads have gotten a bit big over there. Mine would too if I did as much European and work for Ferrari of Washington as they do. This is well documented with their consistently high prices relative to the market.
I've been in the game for over 15 years and the body shop industry has changed a great deal in this area. My recommendation would be to research reviews online as well as get three bids for the work and go with who you are most comfortable with. Last edited by SeriousE92; 07-11-2014 at 06:37 AM.. |
