Looking for a C4 specialty and experienced paint shop for hood R/I paint & alignment
So, I made an unforced error on my 95. I have dealt with a local body shop for years and have know their in house paint buffer for just a long. Always have seen nothing but perfect work. Let me say no one has touched my car but me for over two decades, but it needed a really light buffing and polishing due to some rail dust (always stored inside). So I dropped it off on a Friday and they buffed it over the weekend. Picked it up on Monday and took it home back under the car cover in the garage until I had time to get it out and wash it and get the lint and other things like that back to perfect condition. Well, I pulled the car out last week (buffed 3 months ago) and sure enough, they burnt through the rear bumper lip where it attaches meets the drivers quarter(yes I did specifically tell them to tape the hard body lines and lips) and also a tiny place on the front hood near the driver side where the hood meets the door. Well 99.9%of people would never notice it ( not including NCRS people 
) but I can't stand it. Rear bumper I can handle ,I can strip it down remove the riveted braces etc and paint it to perfection. Hood needs to come off to do it right, problem is, I am a one man show and last one I did took about 2 months to get it aligned to my satisfaction (included waiting for friends to be able to help me set and adjust. I do know about the tricks to adjust and tighten the hood hinges and shims though the headlight openings with the lamps out, adjust to doors then bumper etc. So my questions to all, and I hope this is appropriate for the tech forum, is there a Corvette shop that does enough C4's and has the C4 experience to do this for me? I don't know of a single C4 specialty shop for this kind of service. I am in Alabama so southeast area would be ideal. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance. Delete if not appropriate. Thanks!
