Platinum Collision did a heck of a job on my 330i after it was rear ended. Then also fixed a few dings in the front bumper cover and made the license plate screw holes disappear.

They are in Marietta right next to Charlie @ Mazcare

You can try Sentry Automotive in Lilburn. They painted the RX-2 in my sig. They stay busy with insurance work, but they buffer the work with very good project cars at a reasonable price. You can pay more to get in line ahead of the insurance work, if you need a quick turnaround.

Can't remember the shops name but David New's friend's shop does great work. High end stuff if your looking to get a show worthy paint job. Not sure who to go to if your just wanting a better than maaco type paint job.

I took my RX-2 to Sung on a trailer, while toting it around for some quotes. He honestly wouldn't give me the time of day. He told me that if it's not an insurance repair, they likely wouldn't do it. Is insurance covering yours?

Out of all the cars/bikes I've had him paint, only one time has been on the insurance company's dime.

Well, take it up with Sung. I brought him a complete car on a trailer, and he wouldn't even talk because it wasn't an insurance repair. Looks like Sung's shop isn't the one for you, spiff.

I know I don't post much on here, but I have to defend Sung on this one. He did a heck of a job my s/c 350z. The work was finished timely and Sung was completely courteous the entire time. thumbs up for Kbodyshop
