Default Porsche Body Repaint

I need recommendations for a bodyshop that can do a complete body repaint bare to metal anywhere in the country. I can ship the car. I have a project I want to start to keep me busy.

I want to build my dream car.

Cobalt (from 964 board) raves about a paint guy around here in North Jersey.
Can't remember exact name but a search or PM to Cobalt should work.

What's the base model for the dream car? 997....

Im planning a project car. It would be a 964 C2. I am not planning to build a Singer but I will not spare any expense on it. But it would be cost to benefit.

I plan to do it in stages. But I need people who are experienced in the rebuild to do some of the heavy lifting.

try searching some of your local hot rod builders. most who spend their lives in that craft are accomplished body work/painters.

I admit to laughing a little at the contradiction. Singer is all about not sparing any expense.

It might help to know whether best quality is your priority. But if price tag is an issue there are probably an infinite number of options.
