Paint Shop in No. Va.

[zoomsan]

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the Northern Virginia area? I'm just looking to repaint (same color) and put a couple layers of clear coat.

Actually, is it possible to just buff off the current clear coat and put on a couple new layers without having to repaint? (Sorry....know nothing about repainting cars)

What kind of damage do you have on your paintwork?

The only thing that can be removed by buffing (= polishing, does not include any new layers of clearcoat) are superficial scratches. The puffing is not used when a piece will be repainted , but rather the surface will be matted so the paint/clearcoat will adhere.

Thanks for the advice. No real damage on the car. I was just looking to try to get the "new car" shine back in the car. It's a 99 and showing some age. I think I can see where it looks like the clear coat is starting to wear down. Overall, the paint is fine, but I know I can't get the shine it used to have when it was brand new with wax.

Then it´s best to have the car buffed. The original paintwork is always the best, and in this case the cheapest way to get the "new car" look
