Hey if there is anyone out there from colorado, I am looking for a good auto body shop to paint my truck.. I'm from CA and have only been in colorado for 6 months because of my job so I don't know who's good and who isn't.. I know it's a long shot but j figured I'd ask in here.. Thanks.

H&M transmission and automotive in castle rock is the only shop I use. They also have a dyno...

User wsmithduramax has had his truck painted a couple times, I'm sure he can give another reference.

I'm supposed to be getting my truck back from Applewood Auto Body in Golden this week. Will post pics when I do. I had them repaint the entire thing.

I'm not real sure on body shops in the Denver metro area mainly cause I live in northern Colorado up around Fort Collins. Also I guess my recommendation kind of depends on what you want to have done. There's some people I would use to do a full color changes as opposed to just having the outside painted. Also depending on how much you want to spend will help me recommend some shops. But like I said I don't have a whole lot of experience with shops in the Denver area. :thumb:

Supreme Carstar Autobody in Commerce City off Quebec and 60th. Keith is the Manager and has an '06 Ram 2500 that's been in one of the diesel performance mags (sorry, forgot which one) but does good work. His dodge is also on the fusion bumpers website.

He's got a pretty good attention to detail. His number is 303-288-0705

I plan on doing a color swap from Silver Birch to chevys sheer silver metallic, also I'm living in Loveland but commute down to Denver for most job sites

Alright, so the guys at Applewood are really really nice. But....I picked them because they were the cheapest place I found that was close to me. You get what you pay for. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I had them do a wet sand and buff since there was a bunch of orange peel. What I got back was a truck with slightly less orange peel, but still quite a bit, and swirls from the sand and buff job. If you're looking for a value paint job, these guys would be ok. If you're looking for true quality, I'd say go somewhere else.

Thanks thunder, it's dealing with my insurance cuz my truck got keyed so now it's figuring out where to go and getting the quotes...Your truck still looks good tho, black is a hard color to paint..
