This is for a frequently driven (not daily driven) C5Z06.
I have a lot of paint chips so if the price is right i might just get it painted if the price is right.
1. Which shop around Seattle does the best paint job?
2. How much does a paint job that will look as good as new from factory cost approximately?
I have seen estimates of 5000$ and more. Someone said it is show car quality.
How is show car quality paint better than factory? more durable?
or maybe save some money and go with a good detail and cut in the meantime:
3. Which detail shop around Seattle can be trusted for removing swirls etc?
The more expensive paint jobs have more labor put into them. Preparation is the key and multiple coats of color with sanding in between and wet-sanding of the the clear coat(s) gets you that deep, smooth appearance.
Paint prices can vary widely as well. Metallics, pearls and color shifting paints are all variables in the total price.
But it's the people doing the work that makes the most difference and C of A has a great crew and their full restorations are a testament to their quality.

I had some body/paint work done there a few years ago and it was all done exceptionally well. Great place to get your Vette worked on.
