Default Paint Shop Needed

Would like to get some paint work done before the winter. Few rock chips in front that were done badly by previous owner and a small chip in the rear. Anyone know of a good paint shop in Delaware. I'm down in Newark, but work up in Wilmington.

Saw some old threads on some locations, but the thread was about a year old and things do change. Thanks...Paul

Try Executive Auto Body in Elsmere. They do all of my work and are first rate. Ask for Mike and tell him Ray Scott recommended him. Their number is in the book.

I wouldnt go to just anyone to shoot spa. 3 stage colors are hard to do for some of the best shops, and even more difficult for a "good" shop. That is, unless you want 3 different shades of color on your car


Contact John(yelloscreamer), he had his spa shot up in philly by a good place, and as meticulous as he is, was more than happy with the results.

I believe his SN is Yeloscreamer with one "L". Maybe that's why the PM didn't go through?

Hey... I'M HERE! The best advice I can give you is if you don't have to paint it...DONT. Meaning if it's just a few chips, have it repaired by Aerocolors or someone like that. When I had paintwork done I shot the entire car. Trying to blend Spa is almost impossible to match. There are so many Spa variants even the best shops have trouble. If you must have it painted be prepared to paint the front bumper fenders and the hood. They will probably need to paint all of that to get it to blend with your old paint. I honestly don't want to recommend any shop to you only because you may not like the result. Sorry....I wish I could be more help

Thanks all. Does it matter which rep to use? Seems like different ones in PA, NJ, and De.

Spa is the worse color ever to match, listen to John. My body shop in Pensauken was able to match it 95% first try I would say.
