Body shop to paint a fender off the car?
 
Looking for a shop to paint a fender off the car, I have a brand new OEM one. I know it probably won't match great but its fine for my needs right now. My regular shop doesn't want to do it.

Anyone know a decent shop that will take the job, cash of course. I prefer westchester/NYC area but I'd go somewhere close to the GW in NJ or southern CT.

I used to live in Danbury CT and I had a 50 vehicle fleet. I took everything to Albert's Auto body in Danbury. They do awesome work, though it is a bit of a drive from the city

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep it in mind.

The thing that worries me about fleet work is volume over quality. I worked at fedex and it was more of a focus on fix it and get it back on the road ASAP. Have a friend who used to drive NYC yellow cabs. Same thing, even worse though. You just have to look at them half the cars not even clear coated, overspray all over lol

Not saying this shop is like that just my experience. I'll check them out if I can't find anything else in a week or so.

Need car fixed by end of july, preferably before that

I can vouch for Albert's. The owner Eddie is a nice guy to work with. The shop uses BASF Glasurit which I believe is one of the higher end paint systems on the market. They have worked on my old Civic, as well as my fathers Tacoma with great results. The best advice if you are considering this shop is to stop by and talk to the owner Eddie, check out their shop, as well as their work so you can make your own judgement.

I'll throw http://proformanceindustries.com/ (New Rochelle, NY) out there as a suggestion based on the quality of their work but am not sure about the willingness to paint the fender off the car. You'll have to talk to them about it.

I'm guessing that some places may say no to that request because if it doesn't match when on the car it's a rolling negative advertisement for the shop if the name is given in conversation when the whole story may not be presented??
