Default Thumbs up for EuroPros.......

My Baby is scratch free again!!! For those that remember the picture that Mark in Baltimore posted of my 993 that had been keyed........its now been fixed....yea!!!! The scratch when from front wing all the way back to the rear wheel arch, where it was deepest.

Insurance paid for the respray which I had done at Europro in Gaithersburg MD and I cannot speak too highly of the people or the job they did.....I would not go anywhere else and recommend all living in the area to consider them when you need body work doing. Pay them a visit sometime, the facilities are very good and you can see lots of other p-cars in various states of repair....there is even an early 70's RS in for retoration and several race cars.

Will post pics at w/e

Thanks for the heads up. I've got an 1997 Arena Red C2 that the PO worked really hard to permanently swirl. I've been shopping detail/body shops but have been pretty nervous about taking my new baby to just anybody.

Morologous, I would suggest going in and talking with the owner and look at some of the work....they were finishing off a black 911 yesterday for exactly what you need doing and the 20 yr old paint looked like new after they had finished.....they will not be cheap but the work is very good. What is even better is that they are open 9-12 on Saturdays !!!

I used them to paint the wing on my car and I was happy. I also think they are cheap in comparison with many of the other shops in the area.

Euro Pros brought my 993 back to life after a sever wreck at Summit last year. They do artisan quality work and Jack, the owner, has extreme attention to detail. I was there many times in the 6 mos. my car was down. I also can't say overemphasize how great their work is. My only complaint is that they were so slow and lots of other cars from more important customers came in after mine and got mine pushed to back burner while they were fixed. But my car looks showroom new now.

David, It looks great!!! I'll need a respray for the nose at some point in the not too distant future. Do you know if they do the 3M film thing too?
