I’m looking for a body shop guy who does side work that can fix & paint some fiberglass body panels for a friend and I.Two cars. Six panels. I have a small repair to make on mine but would like to get it painted the darker BMW blue color. Do you guy’s know anyone around the Frisco area? I live in Scottsdale but keep my car in TX so it’s hard to find anyone via word of mouth without being in Tx.
Blue color 
Race car

Have you ventured into Corner Carvers to try and find a recommendation? A lot of the active racers there seem to be from TX.

Find any place that does boat work . I used to work for Owens Corning . You can do it yourself . Repairing is not that hard , painting is another issue

LOL! I’d have my cousin paint them in Torrance but it would cost me a fortune to ship the panels back and fourth. I found an Earl Scheib in Dallas. This kind of job is hard to find when you’re an out of towner. |

I’m gonna go wheel to wheel with 30-40 other animals fighting to get to turn 1 first. It’s not worth it to over do it on a paint job. Here’s a video from Hallett. |

I would go to HF and pick up what I needed, rent a compressor and a paint gun and do it myself under a tent if need be.
Grind out the glass and fill it with long strand Dynaglass and use tape to hold it in place until it cures. Once it does just block sand that bitch down and shape it with a 20 dollar B&D orbital sander. It's a RACE car not a show car. |

I can bring you the body panels (off the car) to you in two weeks when I’m out there. If you have room for a 20 ft. Box trailer we can leave the panels in the trailer to keep them out of your way. I won’t need the panels back until the end of September. |

Two cars so six panels. All fiberglass. One set would fit in the back of a short bed pick up. The cars are 12 feet long. Here’s a pic of a rear and mid panel off a car. Underneath front panel.
