I am looking for a reputable paint shop that has done work on other Rennlisters' PCars.
Any recommendations, names appreciated.

Paterek Bros who is leader in PCA has an excellent reputation.

JASTX on this board is from NJ and was very active in PCA there. He knows a lot of technicians, shops, etc. I would send him a PM

It depends on what level of results you are after. The Paterek Brothers, in Chatham, are by far the best, if you want a Concour winning result. They have many National level wins to prove it. But, they will be the most expensive, of course.

If you aren't planning on winning a National level concour, but want you car put back to original condition, many of us have used DJ's Autobody in Morristown. DJ will consult with you about the level of quality you are looking for and price/perform to that level. Several on this board have used DJ's, some more than once. A good friend just had a total repaint done last week and will pick up the car tomorrow.

Norm - Car is great. I want to get the front bumper refinished I'll give you a shout on Monday.
If the weather would only start to get warmer, and some of these crater sized potholes get filled in, I'd be driving.

CarmG993

OK - so what would everyones guesstimate be on getting the front bumper and lower spoiler refinished?
I am guessing the top portion is just going to be a strip job and a repaint, but the lower turbo s portion has to be seperated from original. Then any work to get smooth and refinish and paint.
Thoughts ?

Are you just getting the front "sprayed" or is there damage that needs to be repaired (scrapes, etc)?. That will affect price...

DJ's resprayed my front bumper and two Aero Kit splitters. The cost was $350 IIRC.

That's it?? $350 to respray the front end and the spoilers...I want in! Did they do a great job?

Chuck A.

I was really surprised at how nice it looked. One point I forgot to mention is that I took the bumper off myself (and installed it again) so I didn't pay any labor for that.

Dave is a really good guy and he'll explain everythnig to you and let you decide which way to go.

Can you PM the info? I appreciate it...

Chuck A.

Sorry, you're not a paying Rennlist member, so you are on your own

Just kidding. I just sent the info.

DJ will do the work to your quality level, and help you with that decision.

He just sprayed a friend's track car...original color for $1500. Some minor body work. We will be picking it up in 30 minutes.

You got me there...I have to become a member already. Just a matter of pushing a few buttons at this point. I'll get it done.

Thanks for the info.
