Deshler's in Orange. Best shop by far, used by many POC/PCA members.

Deshler's is out of the repainting business, they only do collision repairs now. They referred me to Jim East’s shop in Orange. Seems Mr. East’s has been painting Porsches for 30 years. The only problem is he’s booked up for the next two months. I’m not sure I can wait that long. UNDECIDED???

Try Advanced Auto down in SJC. They did a stellar job on my 993 repaint.

Talking I'd ask.....

Mark Hergesheimer at Hergesheimer's Motorsports in Lake Forest, CA. He originally referred me to Deshler's...Deshler's did some minor work for me...painted splitters and a tail.

If Deshler's is no longer re-oainting cars, Mark will know another place.

If you dont mind travelling up to Marina Del Rey...see Brace's. They are the best...expensive and most meticulous with Porsches...but the absolute best.

Don,
Call Tim at Deschler's and tell him that you want respray and you would like a cash transaction. I got my entire front painted from him this way.

Sputnik... Brace is located just off the corner of Washington and Lincoln, kind of behind the Burger King on Washington there. They do nothing but Porsche's and absolutely do a fantastic job all the way around. When I was there, they had Jerry Seinfeld's Guards Red Porsche Tractor there that they were reconditioning. The address is 13326 Beach Ave. Phone 310-823-2474

Another vote for Brace's.....fantastic place. They just painted my C2S split grille.....fantastic considering Polar is a very difficult color to match. Ask for Gary.
