Re: Need an expert!
Smith Automotive in Webster is supposed to be good at finish painting. It might be worth a trip to their shop to see what they have to say about your project. I have not used them myself, but one of my customers from Williamson did and was happy with their work.

Re: Need an expert!
Hi, never thought about approaching a auto repair shop for painting a GT! Always just assumed they stayed within there field of operation but definitely a good option. I have used Smith Auto before for car work but definitely would not recommend them for any welding work! They trashed my 1999 Jeep Wrangler when they worked on a chassis issue. I would not even drive it! and had it flat bedded to another shop that had to swap out the chassis as the one they did was unsafe. So I will never use Smith again but you have given me a thought to approach a painter from that environment.

Re: Need an expert!
Most shop do mainly insurance work . But there are a number of guys around that do side work at home . Some of them the side work is nicer than there at shop work because they are not under the gun .ras101 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 12:02 pm Hi, never thought about approaching a auto repair shop for painting a GT!
