Hi. I have an '81 Euro 911SC Targa (GP White) that needs a repaint. I need someone that can spray single stage and achieve the factory orange peel. Thanks in advance for any suggestions in the NY/NJ/PA/CT area.
Castle Auto Body in Westbury, New York they will come pick it up the phone number is 516-338-4242 They do great work!
I've had it for 24 years, and intend to keep it. John Paterek wanted $20K w/ me doing the disassembly/reassembly. Looking to spend $8K or so...
I'm still on the fence re: two stage or single base coat. The decision, to a certain extent, may depend on which shop I choose. I prefer to keep the car as close to the factory look as possible.
200 hours @ $100 per. I'm not even looking to go to bare metal. Just want the old paint taken down to the factory primer to preserve the factory galvanizing. Removal/reinstallation of the Targa rear glass is a pain, but its only a days worth of work. I just want a competent respray, not an over-restored look... I have some leads here in NJ: Bodymotion in Ocean and Foreign Specialties in Manville.
Try Rich @ R.O.C.S. Auto in Bellville N.J. 973-844-1274 ... tell him "onboost" down DC/MD area sent you.. You can also try Automobile Associates in Canton, Ct 860.693.0278.. I would opt for a base coat/clear coat system.. and let the make the clear coat "orange peely" if you have to have that. Regards,
Tried Automobile Associates; they quoted $17K... Will check out R.O.C.S. Yes, I was considering that approach; putting the "peel" in the clear coat. My understanding from speaking with various shops is that the base coat/clear coat method is easier to deal with when chips/rash occurs down the road. Thanks.
Bodymotion isn't terrible. I've had them do some minor paint work in a couple of 911s. I would also consider Bob Caruso in Lakewood, NJ.
