Recommendations for paint in the Hamilton/Toronto area

Hey everyone,

After a few years hiatus, I'm finally ready to get working on my fd again. It's great for the most part but being 23 years old, the paint could definitely use a refresh.

Does anyone know a good shop to fix the exterior (standard dents and dings, a couple rust bubbles)? I remember classicauto was the guy to go to but I don't think he does it anymore.

Thanks

Joe is still at it and turning out great work, he's just been away from us rotards for a while. I was talking to him a little while ago and he was making plans for his FC. He's a busy guy in demand.

Add me to the recommendation list for Joe over at ClassicAuto. The work he did on Project Naomi was absolutely top notch!

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the revive. I, too, am looking for a reputable body shop for some body work and paint. Would it be possible to obtain ClassicAuto's/Joe's contact information?

Thank you very much,

Kev

Contacted Joe for installation of a spoiler on my vert and he was very friendly and helpful. Booked an appointment and am looking forward for the results

I remember I went to one of his meets years ago when I first got hooked on rotaries.

I dropped my Rx4 off to Joe last weekend. Always does great work. Can't wait to see it all fixed up again.
