Paint and body work around Seattle

I am looking for some high quality paint repairs on my mint red rx7. Red is a very hard color to match but I don't need to repaint the whole car, more just a light respray and buff.

I'm looking for some reccomendations for paint shops around the Seattle area and what prices expect.

Thanks

Slight oxidation, paint chips on the bumper, and someone keyed my car. I think it needs a light respray that will match and have it buffed down.

Do you guys know of any good shops and what prices to expect? thanks

If the issue is minnor just go to a shop with a decent reputation. its not like you need to make a beat to shat car in to come out looking clean, you have a clean car that just needs a respray. I would just go arround to shops talk to the people ask the questions you want, such as price, quallity, and speed. theres a website people go to bitch about crap work and research the company. I know that theres some good painters on this forum, but I'm not going to speak for them.

If you trying not to spend too much money fix the scratch yourself. You may have to sand it all the way out.

I'd reccomend kansai collision (kansaimotorsports.cm) they pretty much do a ton of work on imports. Currently working on a couple of fd at the shop. The shop owner specializes in paint only. Does pretty solid stuff. True car guy, has a amuse widebody s2000 just chill'n collecting dust next to the fd he's working on.

+1 Kansai Collision has some very nice looking cars going in/out of that place. I've never used them, but I'd give it some serious thought.

It's a shame they don't do any sort of body work other than paint... Do they do other work besides paint over there? I drive by that shop almost daily, that S2000 is definitely stand-out

In Seattle, I don't know of any, but if you're willing to drive out to Redmond, I highly recommend Queen City Auto Rebuild. www.qcautobody.com

Had my FD bumper painted and mirrors repainted here. They specialize in luxury cars and I won't go anywhere else anymore.

Haury's Lake City Collision is great and will stand behind their work.
They have a 2008 M3 as a loaner car

thet actually do bodywork not sure how much. They are currently fitting a origin widebody on a fd. If any thing you can give them a call or email them, and check out the owners work first hand. They're right off airport way about a quarter mile south of Tully's.
