Default Paint Shop ?

I’m going to get my spoiler painted again soon. I let Macco do it the first time (stupid I know) and wasn’t very happy with the job. I took the spoiler off the car and filled it with foam to stop it from rattling when I closed to trunk. In the process I managed to get the foam stuff on it and really messed up the paint.


These shops seem to be pretty highly regarded here I’ll probably get a price from both of the shops in Va Beach then decide.

Stock or Modified Bodyworks (Joey)
3400 Chandler Creek Rd. Suite 102
Virginia Beach, VA 23453
757.301.8490

Auto Elite (Brian)
549 South Birdneck Road
Virginia Beach, VA 23451-5892
(757) 425-8011

Nansemond Auto Body (Barry)
5477 Nansemond Pkwy
Suffolk, VA 23435
(757) 488-9760

Affordable Automotive Repair (Duane / vadriven "nftunatn")
410 Salters Creek Road
Hampton VA 23661
757 870 3103
757 722 2199



Has anyone tried this shop, it is very close to my house?

Squidly’s (Jimmy)
4108 Indian River Road
Chesapeake, VA 23325
(757) 353-3370

Anyplace else near Indian River I should try or anyplace other than Macco to stay away from?

The paint is yellow and I want to match the car as close as possible (it’s an ’09 so not much fading yet). Macco was very close on the color but had runs on one of the legs, two missed spots on the bottom, and bad orange peel.

Any advice or tips to help me get it painted right this time would be appreciated.

My dad and brother do body work and they have their own shop, they work off referrals so, bad work = no work. If you are interested in a price quote give my brother Jon a call at 7572888869. They are right off kempsville near the water tower in Chesapeake.

Here is a little ad he put together, they do headlight refinishing, paint and body work, among other things.

I’m starting to think I should make the trip across the river to Hampton and talk to Duane at Affordable Automotive. I would have liked to have had it done a little closer to home; but, I want it done right this time and don’t want to spend too much.

Thanks for the input.


Has anyone had any paint done by Sigmabond’s family (Jon’s Costom Paint)? How did they do?
