Swarthout's auto body in Lake Bluff. I took my Silver car there after I got hit in a parking lot a couple of years ago and they did a great job matching the silver. There's also Crown Auto Body in Lake Bluff and Greg's Auto Body in Lake Bluff. (I also got my front bumper on my Red car painted at Greg's.

Thanks. Do you know these folks? I was hoping to try and help our members first before just a body shop. If I dont hear from anybody else soon, I will take your recomondations. Thanks again.

50% Black with Silver High lights. OR. Totaly repaint 50-50 Orange and White with Black High Lights?
Sweet. Not to put you on the spot. If you had to pick one. Wich one would be more capable od matching the outside markings to the inside of the door jams? Going two tone with a side stripe, when I open the door I want the jam to flow the same as the side panel leading into the jam.

Now that I have 3 choices for paint. Unless somebody else post another shop. Does anybody know an Excellent decal shop? The must be able to follow a wave line with the stripe varying in thickness as it progresses through the side panels and doors to the trunk line. Very minimal shrinkage will be expectable do to the design. I don't want the two tone paint line ever exposed. Including the door jam. Those just might need to be painted

I like your black/silver idea the best!

Out of the 3 shops, Greg's is the best with paint. I've had some vinyl work done at Sticker Dude in Lake Zurich but nothing too complicated.

Sticker dude has closed down. Had work done on the 05 Mustang. Not happy at all.
