Paint Correction Service Around Seattle?

tetsuo111 · 08-23-2017, 11:22 AM

Hi, seeking recommendations for restoring black paint near the Seattle area. Anyone with firsthand experience able to suggest a shop?

The car is a 2011 E91 / 6MT / RWD / ZSP with extraordinarily low mileage ~36k. The car was parked in a driveway outdoors in Mountain View, CA resulting in the black paint condition deteriorating from solar UV and wind-driven particles. The overall condition is satisfactory, I simply want to restore the paint to near "like-new" condition.

Northwest Auto Salon in Lynwood seems to be one of the PNW benchmarks. The owner suggested nothing less than the full-service "Connoisseur" treatment will work, at ~ $1300.

Other, more convenient options for me (living closer to the South end of town) are Accutint on Airport Way and Leschi Auto Detail near Mt Baker.

Anyone care to share their feedback? Thanks!

Oh no, what happened to the old one??

Sorry I don't have any paint recommendations. I do know that BMW NW uses Paramount Centre in Fife for body work, but I've never actually had to use them.

Northwest Auto Salon.

If you want to get one of these I'll help you do it. I'd offer up mine, but I burned it up after 10 years :/

I have the polish, and then we can put the Gtechniq Crystal Serum on it for winter.
