Looking for a paint shop recommendation in the DMV area

hey guys,

I'm looking for a paint shop recommendation in the DMV area.
I'm in Clarksburg, Mayland.

it's tough to find someone who's not colorblind...

I asked the same question several years back and got the same rec from other forum members. Don't have personal experience w/ them b/c a paint correction took care of my issue, but thought I'd pass along that D&V seems very popular with the memberhsip. Also, I know the folks at RRT (a great shop) like to recommend them as well.

Yep! Minor collision repair (white WRX and black S3) both required paint came out perfect.

D&V is by far the best in the area. They repaired / painted my M3 which is a pearl color and nailed it

thanks, man.
At this point, I don't even know.
communication with them is like pulling teeth.
over a week and multiple reminders to get an estimate, and now I cannot get it scheduled.
i have to constantly chase them...

Unfortunately this is somewhat the norm with good body shops. They get too busy because they're good.
