Atlanta - Paint shop, body work

Hey all. I am ready to begin the process of fixing the body on my FD, and I was looking for suggestions on where to take it.

The right, rear quarter panel needs to be replaced. I have one already that is the same color of the car. The car is black right now, but I may be interested in painting it a dark blue depending on price increase. I have a new bumper, fenders, side skirts, and rear bumber so a lot of the car won't be painted to begin with anyways.

I don't want a Maaco job, but I am not looking to spend $8 on a paint job either.

Please let me know of shops around the area. If I do change the color I can pull the engine, and remove the interior.

Thanks all.

Ha. Sounds like good advice. Are you implying that I would need an $8k paint job to "do it right?" :-)

Thanks for the link. I will check them out.

Not $8k, but don't got for the Maaco Ambassador special for $249 either. You do get what you pay for with chemicals.

Sung at Kong's wouldn't even touch my car when I asked him for a quote, so I can't say anything good about him. You can try Sentry in Lilburn as well - they've worked my car to bare metal, cleaned it all up, and are repainting now.
