Reputable Paint Shop In Atlanta?

Hi All!

I recently acquired my very first porsche a 1986 Carrera GR/BLK. As long as I can remember I have always loved/wanted this car!

I absolutely love everything about it but it needs to get a complete respray. It has very minor dings along the drivers side door as well but other than that in great shape. The paint is oxidized on some parts of the vehicle and the original shine is gone.

Also a place that may be able to repair the rear tail as it has a small crack- if repairable?

Any idea of what I can expect to spend? I would like to take it to a place that has some good feedback from you guys/gals as I have been browsing this site for a lot of other info on this model as well.

Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.

I have attached a photo below but the paint looks a lot better in the picture than on the vehicle.

M.

Let us know the rough estimate for a respray/clearcoat, Serp. Mine sort of needs one, and I have a buddy in ATL whose couch I could borrow for a while (I don't trust anyone local to touch this car).
