    Anyone know a good place in Northern VA to get my Roadster painted?

    Hi all - I've been very bad about posting much here, but have been beavering away on my MK IV. Just drove it in go-kart mode for the first time this week, so getting ready to work on the body. Can anyone recommend a paint/body shop that's experienced with FFR roadsters in this area? I live in Great Falls VA.

    I checked over on the Capital Area Cobra Club site and here is what those guys have posted over the years:

    Stingrays in Purcellville, VA 37311 E Richardson Ln, Purcellville, VA 20132 (540) 338-3929 I tried their website and it did not work so I am not sure they are still around

    Absolute Auto in Dickerson, MD. 22210 Dickerson Rd, Dickerson, MD 20842 (301) 972-7234. From their FB page it looks like they have done 8 cobras over time and they look pretty nice.

    I know of at least one person that trailered their car down to Whitby's in Greensboro, NC to have it painted as well.

    Eric Broadwater painted one of my first builds back in 1999 and he has done about 8-10 cars for me over the years. He does a great job and is a talented painter. Just make sure if you have any special request that you address those request up front and you will be very pleased

    I'm just south of you in Richmond and I will be headed to Whitby's as soon as it is too cold to drive. I visited his shop in the spring and was absolutely amazed. Well worth the trip!

    Headed to Whitby in a couple of weeks to pick it up. Can't say enough about the quality of work that they do.
