Straight line Auto in Elkridge, MD. Few members have used them in the past with good results. I am about to go there for rear bumper cover fix.

Do they work with aftermarket, i.e MSport Facelift? I've talked to a few in my area that don't want to bother with. Thanks.

Just wanted to chime in. I know several members have had good experiences with them but my experience was the opposite. I paid to have my hood resprayed but they only touched up certain areas and then clear coated the entire hood. Unfortunately, they missed several chips and nicks in the paint. Maybe I'm just more picky but when I pay for a full respray, I expect the whole thing to be repainted and not just certain areas. I pointed this out to John, the owner, and he said it wasn't worth redoing. If you want attention to detail, there are probably several better options in the area. Just my 2 cents.

what ? not worth re-doing ? If I paid for a re-spray then that is what I should get. Not a touch up and a layer of clear coat. can somebody chime in ? I would expect the body shop to sand it down so the hood would be all smooth then resprayed with few layer of paint then clear coat. right ? am I missing something here?

I will hold off on going here for until I hear from other members. Thanks for your input.
