Default Paint Body Shop Suggestions in Hampton Roads?

I have a friend who wants to paint and resurface his fiberglass top on his Jeep. Any suggestions?

I have used Tim's custom painting in Tabb. (York County) on a touch up once. I have also seen a Grand sport get the top repainted by Tim too. He does very good work. And he owns/owned a few vettes, so he knows how we treat our cars. (Although I understand your friend has a jeep). If you ever make it to the Saturday night cruise on our side of the water, you can see many cars painted by Tim. He takes his time and does good work.

Hey Ed,
Where does the cruise happen on your side of the water? I've heard a few people talk about one over there but have never got the location. Does it still go on this late in the year?
Thanks
Leo
:cheers: :seeya

It happens in york county. Don't remember the shopping center name. But if you ride over on 64 and get off on the first exit of J. Clyde Morris Blvd (aka Rt. 17) and head out that way you'll run into it on the right.
Only bad thing is your car has to be 20 years old or older to enter. I didn't like that so I went twice this summer and then never went back. A couple of the beachcombers on this side of the water go there. Bill took his 65 a couple times and Jack took his 67.
I also have no idea if it is still going on.
Jack da Rooferwould know if the show will still go on. (and the name of the shopping center)The parking lot is much bigger than Giants too, but the thing with the car age sucks for me.


Ed

Dave,

Jeff at Art Walker's in Virginia Beach did my car and I think he did a pretty good job. :) Your friend may want to stop by there and at least get a guesstimate.

Thanks Jack. I just wish I could find a way to stop all of the little stone chips! :eek: Of course I guess if our cruise director would not choose those "short" gravel roads to go touring on I would stand a better chance! :jester

You have a really nice paint job on your Vette. I'll tell him.

Thanks all.
