Wifes car has picked up a number of scrapes and scratches from the parking garage she uses working downtown, got a big one today so I'm thinking about getting it painted.

Anyone have some paint shop recomendations in the Raleigh, NC area?

No dents only swaped paint and light to medium scratches, nothing too deep.

Plan to keep the car for several more years so no cheapo paint job.

Should i get just the bad spots done to match or the whole panel(s). I want it to look good and match but i dont want to have the whole car done.

If pics are needed will be able to take some tomorrow, she is out in it now.

John's Collision Center recently did a beautiful job on my '99 Porsche Carerra. They're on Gulf Court off Westgate Road just before Glenwood Avenue.

"No Cheapo" paint job can mean $5000.

Try Thompson Cadillac, they did good work for me on a repair.

Precision Collision Repair on Capital Blvd. has a good reputation, but they are not cheap.

Here are the "top 10" according to this particular list.

I actually had good luck with with the Maaco in Cary off of 54. They painted my E30 and it looked really good considering the cost.

In the Raleigh-ish area...

Browns in Carrboro and Hendricks Collision have done good by us. But... its been years and ins paid for the repairs. Not sure how much it would be straight-up. There is also a place in Durham on Hwy 98 / Geer street that I can't think of the name of right now.

I also think we've used the Coats in Garner several years ago. No complaints there, either.
