Detailing is not restoring the luster of my '97 993 Cab's paint. It's a daily
driver and no garage queen so the paint just hasn't held up. Most people
don't notice but I do.

I'd like to get a complete repaint. Can anyone recommend a good paint
shop that does great work at "reasonable" prices? Especially someone who
has direct experience (I had my car painted there, my friend had his/her
Porsche, Mercedes, BMW painted there).

I tried Yahoo! Local but didn't find any user recommendations.

Preferences are shops between Santa Clara and Redwood City.

Thanks.

I have used B-line in San Jose a few times and they did very good work. They specialize in BMW's but I have used them on other cars. However, I have never done a full car.

At the very least they might be able to direct you toward Porcshe specialist.

Cars done:

Rear 2000 BMW 528
Rear 1996 BMW 535
Rear 2000 BMW 740
Side 2000 VW Jetta
Rear 2001 Jag

Good luck and let us know who you choose.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Mathews-Carlsen where I've had minor body repair done (check strap fix) doesn't do full body repaints but they recommended Independence Auto Body in Mountain View, CA.

I haven't had a chance to check them out yet.
