    I'm looking to have my W900L repainted. Anyone have a good experience with a professional painting shop. NY/NJ area preferred.

    I love to see a freshly painted vehicle! It reminds me of a new baby! Good Luck!

    Elizabeth Truck Center in Elizabeth NJ. I have a feeling the might be high but they do good work. I think they have a shop somewhere in NY too.

    I would get estimate from a dealership's body shop first. Most places aren't set up to paint something that big.

    Give Gabrielli a call. I had warranty paint work done through them in CT, not at their shop, but they know who to go to. The place in CT that did the work for me was excellent!! I'm sure they know someone in the NY area as well considering they have a dealership there.

    The place in ephrata pa does nice work...not thinking of the name at the moment tho. Friend of mine priced a spray job at ETC it came to $16k. Sounded high to him (and I, but I didn't hear all the details of what would be done). There's a place near Windsor ct that does nice work as well. Painted a buddy's tractor in 2 tone came out beautiful (custom colors). I'll get the name of the place in ct and check back in here.
    merv's is the place in ephrata. Looked up the website, nice looking work.

    Pocono Peterbilt has a fairly good body shop but for the absolute best I would call Quality Auto Body in Vails Gate NY, they build show quality tow trucks and do heavy duty collision repair, amazing work. Michael Biggs Jr 845-534-9055 Here is a link to their website, they built all of the tow trucks in the pictures in house.

    Ross body and frame Allentown PA. $7000 to do the cab of my Argosy. Good enough to be one of the Cat scale cards in 2012. Holding up very well after 2+ years
