    I'm looking for a very high quality body shop in the DFW/Plano area for some potential paint repairs/correction. Any suggestions besides Stuart's?

    I've used Details, LTD in Addison and had very good results, plus they are great people to work with. Ask for Justin or Ron. 972-392-2277

    If it's a Ferrari, I would check with Steve Fordham at Boardwalk Ferrari. I am sure they either do this sort of work, or he can put you in touch with the right people. I've had great experience with Stuart's, so no one else to suggest. Let us know who you find, and how it works out, since I am thinking of eventually doing a paint correction to my 911...T

    4M Body and Paint in Lewisville. Owned by Ferrari owners and F-Chatters Jano and Raffi. They've worked on dozens of FChat cars including 3 or 4 of mine.

    Does it just need to be buffed out or resprayed possibly?

    I'd 'second' the suggestion of Jano & Raffi at 4M Body and Paint.

    I used Stuarts and was very happy with them, Plus Boardwalk uses them for their paint and body...

    thanks everyone. believe it or not, i left this thread (my own!) with no email notification. what an idiot!

    i've been contacted on this board by 4M, so the testimonials for them are great. iirc, jano contacted me. i know stuarts does very nice work, but i'm trying to see if i can get similar work for under their estimate amount. i've only gotten an estimate from stuarts so far. i need to make sure what i put into it at least pays for itself, otherwise i should sell as is.

    the work is to completely refresh my '87 G50 Carrera. front bumper respray, a few chips repaired, full paint correction, interior detail, carpets - everything so it's 100% ready for sale.

    i work in addison, so i'll look in Details, Ltd. also.

    tomc., i'll be sure to let you know what i wind up doing, since we're both working with a 911. there's a guy, i think Adam, on the rennlist board who does paint correction in the area. i can get you info, if you need it. i assume you're on rennlist though.

    I can also do paint correction. If the paint is not peeling away most of the time it's still able to be restored without respraying.

    Is it clear coated or SS paint do you know?

    Check out my website if need be. Many Fchat members can vouch for my work. ;)

    so i just spent some time up at 4M and raffi and jano and raffi has suggested to me a very good detail shop that happens to be extremely close to my offices, but he can't remember the exact name of the shop. he mentioned on/near beltline in addison. would this possibly be Detail, Ltd. that's on midway, just north of beltline? does anyone know of another shop that would come to mind for great detail work in that area of addison?
    thanks!

    Details Ltd was great to work with with an M3 I had some work done to. It's like all your bad customer service experiences backflipped finally in your favor. Ron is great to work with and I really appreciated his level of attention to the work and the final product reflected that. Sent me progress pictures along the way which was cool!

    just stopped by Details, Ltd. and it was a no-go there also. one, they're booked out until the end of the month, but he also didn't want to do any of the chip repairs i want done. they shoot an entire panel or nothing. i'm just looking for a detail shop that is also willing to touch up a few paint chips - along with full paint correction, interior shampoo'd/cleaned, full prep ready for sale. i'm surprised i'm having this much trouble with this.

    any other known shops in the north dallas area?? Details gave me one lead, but the guy is in arlington.
