believe it or not I've heard good things about Pohanka. Specifically the old Wagon Works shop which was bought by them. Apparently most of the shop crew stayed after the buy.

Having said that my buddy had his F355 and 360 Modena painted at D&V after a rather botched up job was done by Karroserie up in PA. His cars looked fantastic when he got them back. as usual YMMV.

I know this is a further going north from Bethesda but Collision Craft here in Baltimore is top notch. Jeff knows his paints, for example, he'll know which Jet Black to use on a certain car based on it's year, chassis, etc.

He matches the surrounding paint (ie retain the factory orange peel to make it look like nothing happened). If the car is a little older and the paint is maybe faded, he'll tint the paint to match the surrounding paint's condition.

Several of my friends have used him and I've used him for an install of a M Sport rear bumper when I got hit. Perfect match.

Prices are very reasonable too.

Cedar park auto body did the estimate for the other party insurance . They said new fender , door probably will be easy fix .

I was sideswiped once.... door didn't look that bad but because of the nature of the strike they ended up replacing the door skin as well as a fender. looking at that pic I'd say you're in the same boat. You really should consider Pohanka (formerly wagonworks) in Crystal City.
