we can, our normal everyday paint system is Dupont cromabase/cromapremier. But im pretty sure we can get what your looking for, our paint supplier does distribute glasurit if i remember correctly.
You should give the shop a call and ask to speak to Joey, hes the owner and head painter and im sure he can address any questions or concerns you have about certain supplies.

Hmmm....a painter once told me that it doesn't matter what brand is used to an extent, just so long a the painter is used to using it (I think this is especially true of Glasurit where it doesn't spray like PPG and Dupont do). I may be wrong, but when your car is your girlfriend/wife, the stubborn in a person comes out.

haha...understandable..., joey has been painting for years, has used all kinds of materials, the guy could spray a bunch of sand and mudd out of his paint gun and it would look good. If you aske me, paint is paint, yes the materials have different characteristics, but a good painter adapts to the material their using, not the other way around. Youd get a properly repaired car and quality paint work finish returned to you.

Not to be a ass, but if you searched Vadriven...I'm sure you get the "list" of who to use and who not to.

Went to 3 shops today. All asking about the same price (well, except Joey, still about the same price but while the other shops thought they could heat up the lower molding and it would be ok Joey didn't mention that so with his estimate I'm buying a new lower molding).

1 shop said they could straighten it, 2 said to get a new door. I'll be seeing a fourth tomorrow.
I don't know - the shop with the Ferrari out front is the one that said they'd straighten it, but the other two said there's no way it'd look right.

Also, what's the deal with only 5 posts/24 hours?
