My FD needs paint and minor body work. It still looks good from a distance, but the small imperfections annoy me every time I look at it. There are many minor dents and scratches accumulated over the 18 years I've had it. Also, the front bumper cover is severely peeling (lousy repaint), and the hood paint has small dark spots in it from the same poor repaint.

I'd like to get a good (I can't afford concours quality) job (probably will need to have the entire car painted), but I can't afford a huge bill.

Can anyone in the Cleveland-Akron area give me any recommendations for good, but not hugely-expensive, body/paint shops?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Can anyone give a recommendation?

 

Hey Dave.

I had some body and paint work done on my Tundra at a place called Penney's auto body in Ravenna. I was really pleased with their work and attention to detail. It was an insurance claim, so I don't really know how they compare price wise, but the work seemed good and the shop was clean and seemed to be well run.

Feel free to PM me if you want more details. I also have a friend who has had some paintwork done on his FD (CYM) and can email him for the shop he uses. He has nothing but good to say about their work.

Thanks. I will PM for details on the body shop you used, and the location of your friend's body shop.
