wanted: reputable paint shop in D.C. area

Hi,
My '67S has 2 panels that need respray (front lip and rear lip), and 2 others that need a tweak to make them align nicer, but I have had a hard time finding a shop in the Washington D.C. area that is not just an insurance shop. My car was resprayed fairly well (yes, in the original color Polo Red) about 10 years ago, but the years and miles have taken their toll.

Does anyone know of a good paint shop in this part of the continent? I knew I should have done this before I left SoCal!!

Karosserie is the shop you want to go to, they are in Fairfax, should be about 15-20 min from you. The owner has a 67S. send me a PM if you want more info:) Rob.

I've heard good reviews of EuroPros in Gaithersburg. Years ago I used Wagonworks in Arlington for a BMW. They did a good job and had a good reputation, at least back then.

Thanks guys, I will check out Karosserie first.

Took them( Europros ) 6 months to replace a very minor damaged front fender and paint a hood, and they had left my windows open outside in the rain, it was full of six months worth bodyshop dust, and water, the paint on my gage faces pealed away because of the moisture. It was a nightmare to clean up, I had to remove the seats and shampoo the carpets. they lost my spare and my car cover. Took about 30 phone calls to get my car back. .... The repairs were done to a very high standard, although for 8 thousand, it should be. ( I hit a deer @ about 15 mph)

For future reference, which shop are you refering to?

It was Europros. Sorry, I will edit my prior post:rolleyes:

Holly ****! I would have tossed a brick thru the their front window :eek:

Karosserie seems good. Unfortunately, they're too rich for my blood...
