I don't know of anyone in the Houston area, but check your yellow pages for Auto Body Restoration. I am sure there are several shops around the area.

No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years. Not gonna stop now.

Look in the phone book under Good Body Shops, with an A+ rating.
Don't we wish it were that simple.
As you look for one I think you'll find some will not even want to deal with what you have because they are a high volume late model collision shop.
Ask around and when you do find a shop spell out what you want the end result to be and ask how they intend on doing the work so in the end you are not disappointed.
If you get that... Ya,just bring it in,we'll get'r done, without any effort put out to explain what and how they intend on doing what you want.... you might be in the wrong shop!

I'd suggest hitting the local car shows and talking to the car/truck owners and see who did their work. That way you can see the final work product and also get feedback about the shop that did the work. Granted, you're probably going to have to wait until spring.
