Body work & paint in Seattle?
I'm looking for a shop to do some body work and paint on my '70T. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Queen City in Redmond has been very good, as is Eurotech in Kirkland, and the always amazing Marv Engstrom who has Magic Customs in lynwood

Banned but not out, yet..

I would second Queen City. Very professional and the only Porsche certified shop in the area. Eurotech has also worked on my SC and they did excellent work but you really need to be firm about keeping to them to the estimate. they apparently have many clients who have no problem with giving them a blank check.

Magic Customs-Marv Engstrom is in a league of his own with early 911s. Marv has the coating, primers, solvents, etc. down pat to make an early car look like it was done 40 years ago. Go see him before you decide. Queen City as a second choice. Just my 2 cents.

FWIW, I felt ripped-off by Queen City. That was for a non-Porsche, and almost 10 years ago. (shrug) I won't be taking any car there again.
I like Eurotech, and have heard nothing but good about Magic Customs.

Phil's Bodyshop off 15th Ave NW in Crown Hill area, I've seen a few 911's there before and believe JW told me about them a while back

body and paint shop in Seattle
I have had two cars done by Queen City in Redmond. Both were total restorations. An 89 964 C4 in a special order Diamond Blue Metallic and a 88 Carrera in Marine Blue Metallic. Both were bare metal paint restorations and both had minor body and gap work done. Both came out perfect. The 89 964 won its class last year at the Kirkland Grand Display and the 88 won its class this year. The paint and body work are flawless. The team at Queen City have great attention to detail and work regularly on high end cars. For my money there is no other place to go if you want it done right the first time. Great family ownership, and good knowledgeable team. Worth putting on your short list and checking out for sure.

Quite a while back the work on my 1972T was done by Marv/Magic Customs and I've been nothing but happy.
