Race car friendly body shop

[thomschoon]

was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a body shop to paint some formula car pieces, not looking for concours quality.

 

Thanks for any help

Please don't laugh, but I would suggest Maaco.  I'll bet they would not charge a lot.  I just saw an old beater that was painted by Maaco, and it looked better than a sub $500 paint job should have.

I second the Maaco idea.  For panels off the car they do a great job at a low price.

The paint on my 944 track car was done by Maaco, after 2 1/2 years it still looks great...  The entire car for $299, dupont base/clear coat. 

If you go the Maaco route check out thier shop & paint booth ( I noticed you are in DE)  , I used Maaco in Montgromeryville PA,  they have a modern downdraft booth & of course he is one of Meenhans  many "friends" ...

I believe they are independently owned, so be careful where you go.

If you want to see how nice their work is check out the roof of my 996.

Well for $299 they paint over dirt and everything else. The shop I use paints a full car very nicely for about $1000 in basecoat/clearcoat, and a lot less for single stage (which is what a $299 paint job is)

Preparation is everything and you get what you pay for.
