Recommended paint shops in the Northern Virginia area?

I am looking to get my RX7 painted (Excluding engine bay) and was wondering what you shops you guys suggest. I don't want to spend over $3,000 on paint.

Thank you.

Don't know what it costs to paint a car, but i know people that go to Mr. Spoiler in Manassas.

The dealership i work for uses Paint Guys---they also do work for FOW, and the Nissan dealership in Sterling.

I got my paint job done at Mr. Spoiler. Dan is top-notch. They will take out every ding and paint your car so that it looks better than new...

You'll end up paying between 6-10k for a complete restoration (i.e., all body work, new wind shield, etc), but the finished product is flat out amazing.

I got a guy near Baltimore that told me he'd paint any car I brought him for $1500. He sponsors my race car, and did a good job on it. He even changed the color, it used to be dark blue/grey. Now it's Reef blue/silver. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll give you his number.

Yea, we were there for a couple passes on Friday night. Car wasn't running all that well though. On top of the lack of water in the water box, I had a rocker arm back off on #5 so it was only running on 7 cylinders. I'll have it back out pretty soon, but it's got to go to the body shop before the next race in Michigan so I'm not sure when I'll be hitting the track yet.
