Need a Spot
Can anyone recommend a good paint and body shop in the Athens, Tyler, or Palestine, Texas areas? My son crunched the front right fender of a CJ5 and I want to get it repaired. Thanks for any suggestions.

If you go to any paint store if you take the original paint code or if you know the color they will mix a spray can up for you so you don't have to use a gun it actually matches really good and it is cheap. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
Yeah my CJ5 is pretty dinged up, but like BJ said it is a CJ5.

Some shops might have a color reader. I know Home Depot's paint dept has one, but the color codes it spits out I think are only for house paints, not automotive. Anyway, a shop that knows what they are doing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> should be able to match the color well.
