Default keyed corvette

Last night some a hole keyed the vette from the front fender all the way to the back of the car. The key mark is pretty deep I was thinking a good place to get it fixed is the dealer. Does anybody know of a very good dealer for paint and body? Or a good paint shop in SoCal. I'm not very concerned with price, I just want it to be fixed right the first time. Any help would be appreciated.

What a bummer!! Your car is WAY to nice to have that kind of blemish. Although, I guess an upside would be a slight bit of weight reduction for your trips to the drag strip?

It may be a little out of your way, but Tom Bell Chevrolet in Redlands has done awesome work on all 3 of my Camaros in the past and now my Vette. Ask for Pat or Chad at the body shop.

Dang that sucks. I had my one of my cars keyed before, I know how you feel. Good luck on getting it painted.

Try Richard Hibbard Chevy in Claremont, I had a Camero and Blazer at their bodyshop before. Their color match is spot on. Price is very reasonable too. They do take their time though.

I don't know Adrian but this fellow CF member owns a paint/body shop in La Mesa. I'm going to check him out for some paint damage I suffered. It's worth a look see: elitecustomauto.com 619-315-8349.
