Need a Reputable Paint Guy (Shop) in Austin, TX

[texas328ci]

This is kind of a spinoff from my original thread on my worst paint defects.



Click here to see the defects I'm talking about



My question now becomes...do any autopians from Central TX know a very good paint guy (body shop) in Austin TX or close? I figure I'll get my paint repaired professionally before I try to kill myself polishing with no chance of success.



The pictures I posted were the worst defects, but there are other minor chips and things scattered throughout the finish. My next question is...If I have to have spots repaired on all the panels, how much should I plan on spending? Would it be easier to just have the entire vehicle repainted??



Thanks for any insight!

I know of only one north central Texas body shop I would gladly recommend but he is in Dallas. If you can't find someone you trust in Austin, call Aldo with Mister Collision at 972 484-4762.



Good luck finding someone decent, it isn't easy.

Thanks Scott. I appreciate it! No kidding it's hard to find someone decent...especially for the autopian's eye



Would it be alright for me to PM you for more info if I can't find anyone local?



Also, since new paint has to cure before waxing, do you think the 3 hour drive back to Austin could be detrimental to the job?



Thanks again!
