Good body/paint places in Denver?
I need some body panels realigned, possibly some straightening of the body, and some paint as well. A couple of places I've seen recommended are Apex Autobody and Centennial Collision Center. Does anyone have any opinions on these places, or any others in or around Denver/Boulder?

I have heard some great things about SVE autobody in Broomfield
www.sveautobody.com As a suggetion, what may be a killer good paint job to one person may look like A$$ to another. I would research 4 or 5 shops and go look at what is currently coming out of the paint booths, see if you like the work they are doing if it's painting or panel adjustments. I need to get an antenna hole filled and might use SVE as they are near by. They did an Audi RS4 conversion on a B5 S4 and it came out amazing. Not cheap. I would think they can straighten out all the issue with your 911. IMO, body shops do change their approach like we change our underwears, so find the one that fits you and your car needs best. June-October seem to be the best times before every one starts crashing in the winter time and get filled with insurance claims. Good luck! |

Bump...any new info on paint shops? Yours ended up ok Dave? I'm doing final fitting of the bumpers now on my '72...the car is rust free, bare metal (no windows, trim, etc). It is a rolling chassis...I'll handle re-assembly myself after the paint shop is done. While this car is meant to be a driver, I want a high quality paint job.
