ok, after rolling the fenders on the bimmer last night and realizing how rough some spots on the car are i figured enough is enough. I would like to find a shop that can fix 5-6 imperfections that are driving me nuts. I do NOT wanna spend more then $1g so this might make it tough. the car is far from a show car but i do not approve of overspray and shitty masking jobs, or massive orange peel effect. So, im just looking for a shop that can make my baby a little less rusty and make the rolled fender that i damaged in the process look straight again. ---

What areas are we talking about here? Are you willing to do some of the dis/re assembly yourself? Any holes? I may be able to help you out if you’re willing to come to rochester. ---

I know a guy in batavia (halfway between bflo and rochester) that can do it inexpensively and he’s a perfectionist. I think he’s booked till mid next month though.

Yes I have a booth in my shop, its not a $70k downdraft baking booth, but I’ve put some great work out of it. I’d be willing to take a look at it, but you make it sound like half the car would have to be painted… ---
