I live in West Palm. Tonight, I came out of the grocery store and some nice person kindly had backed into the rear of my car and took off. (and I was parked way away from everything!) There was a fair amount of paint damage. The entire rear end will need to be repainted. Anyone know a good reliable painter in the area?

Best body shop that works on Vette's is in Ft.Lauderdale. Call Maurice Delagotta @ Stuttgart International 954 563-5011 He has a super nice ZR1 sitting in the showroom. You need to tell him that another Corvette Customer sent you. Normally he does not take on new customers. Good Luck

You can try Larry at Auto Craft International. He is in Stuart and does work on a lot of Corvette's and other high dollar cars. He also takes care of the Orbit racing's cars. 772-223-0100. He painted a dragster for me a couple of years ago and it was top notch.
