Default Best place to repaint entire GS400 in MD/VA??

There is alot of minor damage all over my Pearl White 99 GS400. I have most of the parts I need to replace (hood, R/L fenders, front bumper, TTE lip, sideskirts) but I'm not sure where to have the body work and paint job done. I want to either repaint it Pearl White or change the color to Alpine Silver. I assume this will run at least $4000. What is the best shop in the MD/VA area??

I've been to few accidents and Lindsay Collision Bodyshop in Springfield,VA is pretty good.

I would recommend you to go check out Euro Pro's out in Gaithersburg, md.
I had my Ls 400 totally repainted after some minor body work and my vehicle came out in perfect condition. I didn't have any contaminates in the paint. It just came out perfect. They take out all the mouldings and just do all the minor stuff that other body shops wouldn't care to do, because it would just take too long. They perform body work on a lot of lexus vehicles and European cars. They also specialize on Porsche race cars. I would take my car there over and over again.

It seems like everything is cheaper down south! I dont know about kameleon paint on a GS though, it might be cool with the right blend of colors. Alot of people have suggested Lindsay Collision to me and I think I'll at least get an estimate from them. I'll also check out Euro Pros and VP Collision in Bel Air. Thanks Guys.

I got one guy that's doing my SC for 1900.00 with body work, prime, base and clear coat. He did my 98 Ford Ranger and i have no complants. There are few that can do it for 1200.00 but I have not seen there work. Unfortunately I won't have it painted before Carlisle because the GS will be going into the paint booth first :O

same situation here, got all 97+ conversion parts lined up in basement for the SC, canvassing for respray (same color) or repaint with different color. I heard about shops in centerville, VA that do good work, just don't know which one to go to and how their pricing is. I have around 7-8 dings all over the car that just need some love.
