Need a full repaint after the Florida sun. All of the paint threads are really old (5+ years in this local forum) and the shops that were recommended all look to be closed now (at least the VA ones). I'm back in NoVA finally after 7 years, and my plan was to just head to Mach V and ask them who they recommend one weekend, but if anybody else has a suggestion, I'm all ears, and thanks in advance.

I have my 05 at the body shop next door to Mach V; Platinum Auto Body.

They're mostly doing touch on my car - with new bumpers/splitters and I am having them finally paint my roof and limited spoiler in JBP which has been on my 'to-do' list for like six years.

Anyway, Mach V told me they have had a few other customers use them and were happy. Their prices are very reasonable and the owner, Rich, has been very professional in all 3-4 encounters/phone calls.

I can post up some photos when I go to pick her up in the next week or two if you like? I am not sure if I get emails anymore from this forum so probably also shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I used the IAG Collision Center in 2020 on my 2004 STi. I'm pleased with the results. Check out images IG @got2boostit2
