I'm here to dredge up an oft discussed topic. DFW paint and body, but with a twist! Or, maybe not so twisty, sorta, or something.

One of my cars is a diamond grey metallic 2008 Scion TC. While in relatively mint condition for a vehicle I've owned for nearly nine years, it needs some paint and dent love. Mostly the "f**k your cheap car" scratches and dents variety from parking lots.

Does anyone in our glorious sprawling megalopolis offer minor dent and paint matched airbrush work on metallic paint anymore? I do not want to repaint the whole car as 90% of it is fine. My searches on here and other forums haven't unearthed one.

Secondarily, below is a list of all the body shops recommended locally on this forum in the past two years. Does anyone suggest one of them for such work?

Thanks, y'all.
