Since Dougherty came up, I feel compelled to say Bill is a rip off. I have owned many (over 12) 911’s for over 20 years and used most shops in the area. I used him for years and paid through the @ss. When he ripped off my son in his Volvo that was the last straw. He is the biggest BS er in the area. Just ask Paul at Performance Automotive he worked for Bill for many years. After Bill bounced pay checks to him (many times) as well as other employees, Paul started his own shop and never looked back. If you read the daily local you know bill was arrested recently for not paying taxes. He is financially on the edge most suppliers will not even sell him parts if he does not pay up front. I would look for another shop because one day he will be gone, and pay back is a bitch.

Paintworks in Stowe PA, just off Rt. 422
Bob Barber at Paintworks does excellent paint work for reasonable prices. Bob is a very experienced painter. Generally, he does body restorations but will also do repairs and paintwork. I've seen his work on 993's and other Porsches and it looked great. His overhead is low due to the small shop and he does the painting himself.

I've used Brandywine on Matlack a number of times for the C2S and an '88 M6. I would use them again.
Their paintwork has been excellent. They've been a little soft in some other areas. Specifically, they didn't clean off all the overspray one one job. In addition, they had to pull the windshield on the 911 to repair rust under the gasket at the cowl. It took multiple return trips, even after they installed a new windshield at their own expense, to get a leak-free windshield. But, they didn't hesitate to do what was needed and have gone out of their way to make me a satisfied customer.
+1 for Paul and Pete at Performance Automotive. They're definitely worth the drive from Exton.
