I read over these threads and i'm guessing that 'dreamworks' is a good paint shop.

Dreamworks does decent work but theyre down in southern va. Since youre from Fairfax the best local shop i know of up here in NOVA is Stingrays Auto Body. Ive had a few things painted by them and they do the best work in the area IMO. Its out in Purcellville give them a call.

My friend's maaco job got overspray on his exhaust and they even have some paint chipping. I say go to Ray's Auto Body in Vienna where they have good prices and the paint was at least perfect for when I got my door(which was totally bent and I thought needed to be replaced) fixed and painted. Plus it was only 360 while I went to other shops and it was crazy amounts like 700-900. It was more than a ding.

they're also real nice and make you feel welcome.

and the $500 maacco job isn't too bad for what it is. The quality of the paint is fairly nice, just make sure all the prep work is done properly and everything is masked and your set.

Default Re: paint

yeah definitely. John when your talking about prep work your talking about doing it yourself right? cuz maaco doesnt do any prepwork such as sanding down your old paint and masking off everything to prevent overspray.
