Default Any of the Denver people recommend a shop for a repaint?

Car needs a repaint. I got a quote a few days ago for $7500 to do it. That was to do it right and repair every little ding and dent, etc. Which I can't fault the shop for wanting the car to look cherry but thats way more than I want to spend, or can afford. I realize that body work isn't cheap and thats probably a fair quote for this big of a job.

I don't mind doing prep work myself to save some dough. The car has already been resprayed once it looks like. It looks like a Maaco job too. I'm curious if anyone in the area recommends a shop that won't break the bank.

I can recommend, Chet's custom auto in englewood. He does good work at very reasonable prices, and if you do the prep work and all he has to do basically is spray it, he'll make you a really good deal.

most paint places way over charge, I wouldnt have been able to afford to have the stuff painted that I did if it wans't for him.

Josh, knowing you were at the track today, and now saying you're gonna go to an auto body shop, you didn't stuff it, did you?
