Default Need a painter...

Hey guys. I'm tired of dealing with the shops around here and their poor color matching. Last year I went to Autobuffs and couldn't have been happier but we know they aren't around anymore. I've been to a local paint shop 3 times and the still have the color wrong so I'm looking elsewhere. If anyone knows of a great shop within a couple hours of Delaware (De,Md,Va,NJ or Pa) please let me know. Thanks so much guys.

Norman Gale GMC in Cedar Knolls, NJ (near Morristown). They are a dealer body shop but they are capable of outstanding work. They have done several restorations with incredible paint jobs. One of the techs has an award winning NCRS '67 Vette painted there. They've also done a complete '67 GTO with a mirror finish paint job. I also had my own Z06 repaired there when I got hit in a rear fender by an inattentive driver. Not only can the color match not be more perfect, but they also filled the hole where the antenna stuck out, perfectly too. The dealer owner's own millenium yellow C5 was fixed there when someone backed into it. If interested call 973-267-1100. Ask for Jim Calvert.
