Sigh... after hours of waxing my car got hit. Paint shop near Orlando?

Well after hours of back breaking work, some jerk "accidently" of course side swiped the front end of my S as he was going down and around in the parking garage... the entire front left bumpers paint work is pretty much destroyed and non existent....much to my delight however I found no dents, cracks, or major structural damage so I think I MAY have lucked out and only need a respray.... non the less not exactly something I was hoping to have on my plate.

Do any of you guys know a good paint booth in the Orlando,Fl area or within an hour from Orlando at the most. Not looking for Ferrari quality, just a decent guy who can do good work and not cost an arm and a leg.

^The Regional forums are where you can post questions that are specific to your area. For example, the mid-Atlantic forum covers VA/MD/DC. These forums are on the very bottom of the "OFF-TOPIC" link.

Good luck with the fix.

That'll buff out......
No really.... I think it'll buff out, those marks look like scuff marks and paint transfer.

Check out Samuels Auto (407 321 1438) in Sanford and let them know Peter with the white TL sent you. They are very straight forward and the quality of work is amazing. They have worked on my car, and few other forum members' as well. Im actually heading there tomorrow or fri to pick up a hood for my father.

I appreciate the optimism, unfortunatly there is paint tranfer as well as paint removal of the NBP, and the area needs to be sanded down its pretty rough now.
