Looking to get a car repainted

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a reputable shop to get a car repainted. Are there any good ones in the Richmond area that you'd recommend?

Also looking to get a carbon fiber hood refinished as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I tried using the search option but I don't seem to be using the right keywords, it's not coming up with what I need..

TIA!

There is no easy answer here. You can get a $500 dollar no door jam special or a $20,000 jaw dropping paint job that looks like it's melting.

There's a shop in Richmond called Post.
If you want a free quote you just needs to send them pics.
or you can just visit them in person and they will give you a free estimate.
... but speaking from experience if you bother them too much without doing business they will ban you from visiting again.

Alright enough trollin.

Anyways,

OP: you have to be a tad more specific if anyone is to be able to offer insights. Perhaps if you let's us know what your budget is, your vehicle specifics, desired colors?

All those would help to steer you in the right direction.
