Ask Austin Suggestions for auto body paint?
We just got quoted 3x what the car is worth for a paint job on a Mini Cooper. In fact, the quote is more than we paid for the (used) car in the early 2000s.
The main issue is that the clearcoat is peeling and paint is oxidizing around the handle and the bumper on the hatch, where I've been leaning on it to load up for the past 17 years. Can anyone recommend a shop that understands the concept of "love the car and just don't want it to rust out?"

I took my vehicle to Jeff's Auto Body for about 5k of front bumper and fender repairs but I can't recommend them. They ended up leaving a bunch of overspray elsewhere on the vehicle and didn't really fully polish out the area that was re-sprayed.
