So I'm looking to get my car painted white pearl maybe even a wide body . So I was wondering if anybody knows any good body shops in the bucks county pa area where I can get a estimate. Thanks!

If you are on the m.corvetteforum.com app, then just hit the Home tab and it will take you to all the various sections of the forum.

If you are on the IB app, there is an icon on the bottom of the screen that says Forums (also has current, messages, profile, more... on the same line). Hit that icon and it will take you to the various forum sections.

Classic Coach Works, West Chester Pike in Havertown/ Upper Darby, they do all the paint repair work on all New Ferraris In the tri state area. I see Lambo's in there, Porsche, and other exotics, they also do regular production cars as well.
The do all types of restoration work. From a 1929 Duisenberg, to a Vintage AC Cobra.
They are not cheap. Had my wife's Buick repaired there. Broadsided by a motorcycle. I've known the owner for 30 years.

Another place that guarantees their work for life is Lou Cicconi Corvette Specialist on the Industrial Highway I-291. in Essington Pa.
he's been in business 45 years fixing and restoring Corvettes. Its a body shop not a repair shop just like Classic Coach work, But Cicconi specializes in Corvettes.

Here you go not the best pictures in the world. The paint job was $7,000.00. It was bought and paid for by previous owner. Looks beautiful in sunlight. Wheels are 20s in back and 19s in Front.
