if yourself are a track junkie/racer and it's for a daily driven track car, and not looking for top show room quality...

Dale's very involved w/ local/regional auto-x organizer (Get-Fast.com) and treats fellow racers well. He painted my track Miata last spring and I was very happy w/ the single stage paint job (NOT color base + clear coat) I got. I had a lot of dimples (the entire car was covered) that needed to be filled, thus over 50% of my total cost was prep labor... total was under $1.5k.
Each circle was filled and sanded for prep

Thus depends on what level you're looking for...

Thankfully I haven't hit or been hit by anything that would need me to use a body shop.
Where abouts in hampton roads are you?
I'd suggest you just contact the local porsche/audi dealer (checkered flag) and ask them where they send their cars. If it's good enough for a porsche/audi dealer, than it'll be good enough for you I'd say

Finally was able to get logged into the new site. Looking for showroom or OEM type finish that can handle some daily use. Live in NN/Yorkown area. Not opposed to a little travel. Installing some after market skirting and and front bumper parts. Used Va Beach Audi dealer paint shop in the past. They sub contract the work out. Thanks!!
