Hello everyone - I am new to the club and have been a Z owner a few times in my life and currently have a 280Z that I am customizing. Vinny Bedini is currently doing the motor and I am looking for a recommendation for paint, body and interior.

Vinny mentioned Jim Kinsella (i think the spelling is right). Does anyone have recommendations and/or Jim's contact information.

Look forward to meet you at events.
Todd

Jim is a club member and comes highly recommended. I don't know him personally but I've seen his work, you won't find better.

Frank T will likely be along shortly with his contact info I'm sure.

Congratulations on your Z build! Vinny is the best.

Jay

Todd,

I know Jim Kinsella well. He did body work and painted my 240Z years ago and has painted other member's cars as well. His work is exceptional.

He can be reached at 203-843-5223

I have seen several cars which Jim Kinsella has painted, and they are awe-inspiring. In my opinion Jim is the single-best car and motorcycle painter in all of CT; a true Master at his trade. I could not recommend anyone more highly.
He is also nationally and internationally known. Concours d'Elegance collectors send irreplaceable classic cars to Jim for a world-class paint job.
I'll make you a deal ~ if Jim paints your Z and you don't like it, I'll re-spray it in my garage for free 8) :lol:

Jay, Johnny and Frank - thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.

I'll reach out to Jim ASAP. Vinny also speaks very highly of Jim's work.

Thanks again,
Todd
