Car painting in Durham / Triangle? (insurance, how much, price)

[digartz]

We're looking for a good quality and fair price body shop to do a full sanding and paint job hopefully close to South Durham. I've only seen one very old post on here, does anyone have new comments?
Thanks in advance

We've used Triangle Autobody and Paint several times unfortunately. But we do have three teens. They've always done a great job and our insurance company recommends them also. They were very fair priced.

For a four door sedan (like a camry), how much would a paint job cost? I am talking just overall "refurbishing"... (no dents/body work, but has to include bumpers...)

I have scratches/scuff marks/swirl marks... I think Toyota uses a poor or thin clear coat.

The clear coat sucks on Toyotas. You need a shop that knows how to paint polymer or bumpers will peel in a few years.

I use Foster's for repairs, but the price would not be economical for a full repaint.
