Auto Body painting

[Driller703]

Does anyone have a recommendation for an auto body paint shop? I don’t need any body work, just some sanding and painting for a scrape on the passenger side.
Thanks

That's "Body Work" and you'll probably want most of that side of the car painted, unless it's just an old car you want to look reasonably respectable. A lot depends on the color you need to blend. "Blending" isn't always that easy.

Unfortunately, the most recent scrape I had would have required the whole panel blended etc.(according to the body shop). No such thing as a scratch fix at a body shop anymore.

IMHO, a few years ago, I tried to have the hood on my Mustang repainted, this is an ALUMINUM panel, and the cost was $1300 for the hood, and an additional $200 if the paint had to be blended in at the fenders. I did the repair myself with some matching Duplicolor spray paint. my point if your car is new and expensive go for the body shop, if it used and older, go with a DIY, or someone handy with cars.
Send me a PM if you would like to discuss over the phone, I have painted 9 cars (full frame up paint), I MAY be able to help. There is another person, The Bumper Guy (?) who specializes in bumper repairs that may also be able to help.
