Default Paint work in DFW

Who has the absolute best paint and body shop in the DFW area for working on Corvettes?

You can ask the clubs' prez for each of them. Me, I'd start with them and then look up NCRS* for your area, DFW, and ask them, too. Some overlap, but that group is even more "picky."

Has anyone ever used an airbrush paint repairer for minors chips or scratches?

I am a retired painter and I have found a tooth pick works the best. Get a little paint on the end and fill up the chip with paint. Some colors will work and some will not look good. I don't touch up rock chips on my cars. Some time it is best to look at the forest and not individual trees!

Can you recommend any good local body shops in the DFW area that do first class work?

I use Mike's Paint & Body in DeSoto for my paint work. He does many high-end custom paint jobs, and one of his main guys is a Corvette owner himself. He babied my car when I brought it up there.
