Default New member in Boulder CO area

Hello everyone! My name is Gary and I own a 2000 XK8 convertible in the Boulder CO area and absolutely love this car. Moved here from Houston TX ~2 years ago. Colorado is so much more conducive to convertibles vs. Texas! The top is down 90% of the time during good weather which Boulder has plenty of. I do have a couple of questions. Can anyone recommend a good paint shop and upholsterer in the Boulder area? The car has needed a paint job since I acquired it and also the front seats need reupholstered. Looking forward to all the great information that I'm sure I will receive here.

welcome to the forum - don't know about paint shops but the upholstery job is roughly a 6hour DIY with replacement leather seat covers from topsonline. Several have undertaken the task (myself included) with great results. enjoy!!!!!
