Default Best Paintshop in FL

Hi all,
I am in the hunt for the best Paintshop in FL, Pompano area. (1 hr area) Would be grand if someone could point me in the right direction. Preferably some commercial big franchise or some custom painter. Where do I look for them? Called paintshop or is it bodyshop and paint?
Many thanks,

Phil

P.s. Okey maybe a repost but last time I did not get a real contact. There are about thousands of them. How too know which one is the best?

Thanks for your help, is it possible to e-mail him instead? I am in Sweden for the moment and it will cost me a fortune just to say hi. Or maybe if you know him you could ask the following:

- Re-paint of Chrysler Crossfire SRT (with N/A wing and N/A bumper)
- Color: White (Lamborghini white, BMW Alpine, Carerra White, Ferrari White, Pearl white Maserati or Abalaster Chrysler)
- Re-paint full body including inside doors, enginebay, trunklid and so forth. (Enginebay I assume some brushing will be needed instead of using the spraygun)
- So need of removing frontbumper, remove of doors, headlights, rear wing the lots. Maybe I will paint the calipers white aswell.
- Of course clearcoat and so forth, it should be a full repaint with all necessities.
- Important is that the paint should be resisitant to both extreme cold -40'C and +40'C .

Many thanks,

Philip

You ask for the best painter and then want to half *** it. No high end painter is going to 'brush' the inside of an engine compartment. You better buy a black car and just leave the engine bay black and do some nice white accents.

You also realize a lot of parts are on the car are body color, such as supports and other items not easily accessible? There is always going to be some part that is the wrong color.

As I have said before, good luck.
