Default Any Recommendations for Paint or Wrap

My search didn't turn up anything recent, so . . .

A friend asked if I can recommend a shop to wrap or paint her Honda S2000. I have no ideas. Any recommendations from the Dorki crowd?

Maryland shop preferable, but will be interested in any DC area ideas.

I have a painter down here on the eastern shore. He works out of his house in Laurel, DE. Let me know if you want an intro.

It's not as local as you're looking for, but last year I had Liquid Wrap Labs in Mount Joy, PA do the below. I would advise caution if taking a special car there, but for your friend's car it might be perfect.

D & D Auto Body (right behind Il Pizzico on 355, just south of Gude Drive in Rockville) does an excellent job painting. For a superb job, Europros, but significantly more expensive, Both are body shops, not strictly paint shops.

There is also a guy on the board who is a very skilled painter and has done cars for other Dorkis, but I am not listing his name as he has told me he's considering cutting back when he finishes her current jobs. I hope he changes his mind - he might contact you.

Dr. K…if only I had the cash, I’d love to make my 356 Bali blue again…not sure why it was changed to black long ago.

Glaswerks DMV did my full PPF. Not sure if they do wraps but was really happy with their work.

+3 for Shane. He has wrapped several racecars for members of Potomac. I can send you his phone# if you go with him. This is Robbie's retired racecar he and Robbie wrapped.
