    This is not directly related to Ferrari but it is for my Franco-Italian car project.

    I need to line up some local resources for the project to keep moving. Right now I am in the "paint mode" and need help with powdercoating (smaller parts and valve covers), and full body blocking and respray (no rust, chassis is completely stripped minus suspension) - I am not looking for a show quality (this isn't a Ferrari and the car isn't worth that much), but someone that can do a good prep and lay down a nice coat of solid black at a reasonable price!

    Any suggestions - including who to avoid - would be welcomed!!

    Moorespeed knows a good paint shop, it's close to him.

    They spray on the 250SWB when it gets a 'ding'.....

    You should talk to Bill and ask who sprayed his 330 GT. He said they do real good work.

    I'll shoot him an email. I found a guy in Cedar park who did a friend's Aston Martin but apparently he is not reliable and jon ended up costing nearly double than originally quoted... since the car isn't worth much, I would hate to end up in that scenario.
