I've never personally seen their work, but I hear Dreamworks does good stuff.

I've been happy with Knox Automotive in Carrollton, Va. Rob is a good guy to deal with. I believe his last name is Moore, but don't quote me on that. Their number is (757) 238-2158 if you want to give them a call. Here is a picture of my truck that they painted. Can you tell where the original paint stopped and the Knox paint started? NOPE

Suttle motors did a real good job on my s2k. I had to have them color sand but after that it looks really good.

LOL even the shittiest painter in the world can make a car look good after wetsanding and buffing (maybe not so when it comes to modulation)

If you had to take it back, or noticed something the first time you walked up to the car....then it wasn't a good job. They should have had it right for you from the get go when you picked up the vehicle.
