    Kevin at Innovations is a good guy, TRE people think highly of him. He really knows early P cars and is doing some touch up work for me.

    I was JUST gonna post to contact him, and you asked. Scott's work is top notch, and he KNOWS these cars.

    Also, Gerry Cain is top notch as well. 562-633-3650. Gerry used to work (still does kind of) for Junior's House of Colors. He's in Paramount CA.

    Either one, can't go wrong.

    Brace did my car in 1983 and the paint still looks fantastic.

    He's had to do some "touch up" on the car in the 22 years due to some of my indiscretions. He always seems to be able to match the paint perfectly. He's one of the best, though his shop manager Gary can be a bit cantankerous to deal with at times.

    I've seen a variety of Seinfeld vehicles come through the shop, most recently his Porsche tractor. He bought it to tow his kids on a trailer around his farm in the Hamptons...

    Not that my recommendation would mean more than Dave's at TRE, but I'll put in a good word for Kevin. He did some work for me longdistance on a piece for Kermit, and the color matched exactly, and the work was well done.

    Two thumbs up.
