    Default Paint & Body shops NE metro

    Looking for a paint a body place to prep, paint, and install a fiberglass front bumper. Looking for professional results, not a Maaco "good enough" special. Anyone use the Painting Place at the Lucas end of Bethany? My commute takes me by them daily so it's convenient barring any "this is the guy to use" critical acclaims that would point me elsewhere. I'm just south of Princeton so going towards Greenville or Rockwall would be acceptable too. TIA

    I can't speak about Painting Places work first hand, but I have dealt with there staff. They seem to be on the up and up, and good people to deal with. My preferred shop is over in Addison (Texas Body Works) but I can understand wanting to find something closer to you.

    EDIT: just to many problems and defects with these guys. Put them on the 'avoid' list.


    I just had my car re-sprayed. The work is very good; as always there were a few things I found on close inspection and they are bending over backwards to make it right. I also had a little custom work done. These guys are really, really good. Affordable as well. Mom-n-pop. Cool folks and weirdly, tied to the Propwash rodders.

    I have used "Josh' autobody" on 5 in McKinney a number of times... talk to Corey, tell him Jerome sent you...... good quality work, he's done 4 or 5 cars for family too.

    There is a guy I have been using for years at Wylie. He is the own the shop and does all the work himself, except having his sons do the sanding. He is supper nice, does good work. PM me if interested.

    Bah.... all the places I've check with so far say they are collision specialists and don't want to tackle after marker fiberglass. This thing might just become garage art.

    Check with Gene's Autobody in Denton. Tell Brian Chris Sharp told you to check with him. I know they do good work, just not sure about the fiberglass thing.
