Paint in Montreal - best quality?
Have a CF spoiler that needs hand finish and clear coat. Thinking of speaking to Auto Bugatti (they did a good job on my RS kit a number of years ago) and maybe International Sports Car on St. Jacques.
Other ideas?
It's a small job, so not trying to overthink this. Just not sure who in Montreal currently does good conscientious work.

Rennspa on St. Jacques. They painted two of my cars in the last year. They have the skill and equipment to do superb work. There are frequently Porsches in the shop, many of which see track time.

Auto Bugatti
Just this week, I visited Joe Visconti at Auto Bugatti.
For 25 years, I have always marvelled at the cars, and the repairs that he carried out. I recall the early days of the Ferrari Challenge Series. The cars would arrive on Monday morning, all banged up, and the bubble wrapped parts were flown in from Modena on Tues/wed. By the weekend, they were again pristine, awaiting further destruction!
I recall holding a $10 CF brake disc, a technological marvel at the time!
He has always had the latest, most advanced equipment, from paint booths to chassis alignment jigs. Of course, we RSR guys would never need the latter.
Though he is now the official Tesla repair facility, one can still see all manner of superior cars in his shop.
I recently saw aFerrari TR having a freshly painted fender/ hood reinstalled, and the paint was superior to the original.
It is certainly a great facility to use.

I was recently referred to Auto Bugatti as well. From what my research came up with.... apparently he is top ! I will be having the front bumper fully repainted on my wife's 987.

Auto Bugatti also commands a price tag, sometimes a price so high it basically says "We priced it high because we don't want to deal with you" However it's nice when you walk into a body shop that isn't doing insurance claims on Honda Civic's or Kia Rios. Nothing going to hate though, I understand the game.

I spoke with Bugatti last year, they basically told me that they had over-supply on the high margin 'partial' body fixes and didn't necessarily want to take on a big project.

Guess it depends.
I will be back to see Joe for an estimate this time as well.
The Euro shop on Port-Royal looks good if the cars being painted are an indication. They want to see the part to give an estimate, which makes sense.
Will see who wants the business. It's just clear coat on a flat spoiler. Just looking for someone that will take the time to get a smooth finish.
