    I have an Alfa that I'm about to start restoring. Does anyone know of a good body and paint shop in or within 100 miles of Jacksonville? Looking for a shop that does show quality work. Car has some rust (it's an Alfa after all), but not very much considering the age of the car. So mainly looking for a place that can do a proper paint job and has fastidious attention to detail. Let me know guys. Thanks.

    I used a guy named Otto Brueckner 904-377-5141 to repaint and repair the front spoiler on my 348. He has a shop at his house in St. Augustine. I was a little leary in the beginning but he is exactly the person I was looking for. Reasonable in cost and attention to detail. It took a couple of days longer than anticipated but the resutl was perfect. I would take anything to him and feel confortable. I have no affiliation with Otto except to now call him my friend.

    Thanks Andy. Does he also do body work and rust repair? I need some minor rust work done where the metal has perforated.

    Otto does it all. He has one client that he restores cars for mainly I think. It's worth a call.

    Yup, local is the key. I'm in Ponte Vedra. I'd prefer not to have to ship the car to central/southern FL or GA to have the work done. I'll give both Otto Brueckner and Paul Holman a try and see which, if either, would be best to work on my car. Thanks guys.

    Thanks again Andy. I'll post my impressions though it might take a while. I'm in the process of selling a car then the family an I are on vacation. My plan is to start searching for a paint and body guy in earnest this summer and have them start work on the car in September/October (if possible). I know that smaller guys who have a reputation for great work are often backlogged for many months.
