Good body shop in NJ?

I want to remove my front plate, fill the plugs, and paint over them. I also want to take my wheels off, take the rust off the hubs, and paint over them. Finally, I want to paint my calipers red. Anyone know of a good body shop that can take care of all of those things at the same time? Thank you.

You could talk to:

Matt at C&D Auto Body in Garfield (south hackensack). What you described may or may not be enough for them, since AFAIK they tend to be pretty busy with more billable insurance work and work for BMWNA

Kenny at East Coast Collision in Belleville (not to be confused with similar names elsewhere).

I've gone to Matt 2x but be prepared to pay up. And considering the job is simple, I doubt it's worth it for either of you. Any decent shop can fill in the bumper for minimal cost, heck you could even buy color matched bumper plugs at a fraction of the cost.

In regards to hubs & calipers, I would just wait till next time you have to do a brake job since most likely the calipers need to come off. Some will say not necessary if you're using the G2 kit but you might as well since it'll be easier. I wanted to do this at one point but I got used to the rust, and if you ever get the brakes hot enough, the paint may not hold.
