I’m looking for recommendations for places to have an older car painted. No body work nor rust repair is needed. No color change. It’s been garaged for the better part of 20 years, but maintained perfectly, and the interior is like new. I’m hoping to find a shop that specializes in exterior painting and not necessarily collision repair. Thanks.

If you're willing to go south for some really good quality work check out overtime_restorations on Instagram!

Thanks for that recommendation. I checked out the Instagram and was very impressed. I’m going to be contacting them.

Here is a shop that I used after a collision - https://autobodyexperts.com/

Why no have it detailed? A wash and polish might be all it needs.

It’s detailed. I’ve had that done annually.

Vilar Auto Body Inc in Linden, NJ. He may be super busy though.

Jumping in on this - I could use someone in the Hackensack area to take care of my 1990 Mazda Miata. It spent its entire life until now outdoors so the red is now more of a pink, and some nice person left a fist-sized dent in my quarter panel last summer.

Not looking for perfection, more like... decent from 10 feet away without a ton of sloppy over spray.
