Default Paint Shop Recommendation

Anyone know of a great shop that can repaint a carbon fiber hood to match my car without blending in the fenders?

I bought a supersonic blue takeoff hood that I need painted victory red. Ideally I’d like to drop the hood and my gas cap off so I don’t have to leave my car with them.

I’m in the Central Valley but will drive for the right shop.

Thanks

The way the C7 fenders come over the top and meet the hood makes for a long butt match. It'd be tough to impossible to make it 100% but we could get it pretty damn close using the paint matching camera.

Thanks for the recommendation PipeDr.

GTE I sent you a pm.

Also, what is a fair price to have a hood repainted? I called a few places today and was quoted anywhere from $600-$1300.

H&R in Turlock, my Stingray is there right now. Pretty much the only place in the local area that I trust with my cars.

Stopped by yesterday and received a pretty fair quote. If your vette is yellow, I saw it there. It looks sharp

Haha yessir, thanks! Can’t wait to get it back, should be early next week. They are not the cheapest but around here I think they are one of the best.

Here's a second boost for Automotive Enterprise. Corvette painters (and body work) don't get any better than Bob Waldschmidt, who's been doing it for around 40 years.
