Good Paint/Body Shop
Anyone know of a good body shop to get my car repainted?
What driving to Calgary and back like 12+ times 10 of which in the winter does to your paint:
Note this is fully washed and I did not miss a spot. First time I've seen the car in the sun for a long time, before Calgary trips paint was flawless. Not complaining just saying this is what happens
She used to look like this back in October:

from what i see there's only a few that are past the paint, not saying your gonna get any were near perfection, however for a low cost solution maybe just take it to a good detail shop.
My car was looking pretty bad a few days ago after the huge snow we got, did a good long detail couple days ago: washed, clayed, polished using orbital buffer and waxed and now its looking mighty fine i must say

Yeah I agree, but if he's asking about a good paint job then seems like he wants all the chips gone. yes many will be able to be polished away, but there will always be the pesky few remaining.

Price isn't really a worry as I'm getting money from my stocks and I'm very picky lol.
Let's just say before I started going to Calgary the paint on this car was in better then factory condition as I wet sanded it myself and polished it up.
Nope, it's all too deep for that. Maybe the swirls and a few of the scratches, but not the pitting/sandblasted parts.
Meh, there's something that makes it worth driving there.
