i dont know of any in raleigh, but there is one in wake forest that is real real good. I forget the name, i`ll let you know later.

Thanks Brandon, I`m in North Raleigh all the time, so Wake Forest is only a few minutes away.

Cary Collision is extremely popular from what I hear. Five Star was recommended by a forum I read, but has I haven`t seen any good work from them especially since they did horrible marring on a customer`s car.

I am still finding out the name, hold on.

**MoneyPit** · 01-09-2007, 05:15 PM

Bump...

Zippy you have any ideas?

**GlossyTundra** · 01-09-2007, 11:51 PM

I had a friend get his Acura painted at a shop near Wade ave. They did the best paint job I have ever seen. I will be taking my van there this year to get the front end repainted. It is kind of tricky to get to. It is right where Wade and Capital intersect. Traveling North from downtown you can see it on the right hand side as you are preparing to get off at Wade. I am sorry that I do not remember the name.

Its been 6 years since I lived in Raleigh, but is that the place in the blue building?, I believe it was Autoshape? They used to do good work while I lived there.

I think that is the place.

Thanks Zippy, I`ll stop by there next week, I drive by there nearly every-other-day. Here`s what we`re dealing with:

See thread in machine polishing.

HOLY SH_T! I am sorry that happened! Maybe it can be airbrush touch-uped for the black is just a straight black with CC. I hope it works out. I have never liked the edge system for some reason, now I know.

**MoneyPit** · 01-10-2007, 09:11 PM

I`m not thinking airbrushing will be able to get this back to the state I want it in. I`m hoping it can be spot painted and blended in around.. if not, I`ll get the old bumper re-done. Its important enough to get it done for me. I am leaving it a little while to punish myself though.

The place is very good and reputable. I will get the name from my friend. I think it is the Autoshape shop. He repainted a green metalic Acura on the top surfaces of the car and blended the paint into the A,B,and C pillars. I could not see where he blended and the paint matched perfectly!
