SE paint shops
Can any of you guys recommend a good (ok, a great) VW paint shop in the SE? I am tired of working with redneck idiots. I would like to find somone who can do a show quality paint job and some factory quality body work. I have been looking at http://www.rustyrestos.com/ , but would like to hear some personal experiences. They are at least 8 hours from me and I wouldn't be able to visit every other day like I would prefer. All input is greatly appreciated.

overton does great work. i have seen no less than 5 of his cars and he did mine. as of this past weekend though he says he is very backed up. so just depends on your timing. no_h2o knows some other guys in the same area that do some great work. they painted his sons car. just can't remember the name of the shop off the top of my head. he will jump in here though and offer it. the only other places i know usually will not take on project cars, only insurance deals.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use David Howard at Absolute Body Works in Daytona Beach, Fl. If you want to know why, I'll send you the pictures of his bondo handywork.
Hate to slam a guy, but it's better to hear it from me than see the bubbles $4500 later.

Thanks for the responses guys. This has been a problem for me for years. I am more than willing to tow my bug 500 miles to find the best shop out there. This car has been in my family since 72 (I came home from the hospital in the bug) and I want the best paint and body possible. I have had some horrible experiences in the past. So far overton is the top on my list, but I am going to check out pregs recommendation as well. Again, all comments are greatly appreciated.

Here is another to look at. They shot my son's bug after I did the prep and it looks good.
