Can anyone recommend a decent paint shop somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area? To be more specific, I'm NOT looking for the perfect concours paint job that will cost me $4,000, nor do i want a cheapo $300 paint job either that will flake and fade after 1 year.
To help make it easier and cheaper, i'm just about to finish with all the sanding, i've filled in the little dings, and now it's ready to just tape up and shoot. I don't want to have the shop take all the rubber trim off since it probably won't go back on anyway (!!!), so i'm hoping they can just tape it and shoot it so that it's a reasonably straightforward job. I'm also not going to change colors, so they don't need to worry about painting door jams or under the hood, etc. Any recommendations on such a place that does good work at a reasonable price? Thanks in advance for your help! Don. |

I dunno about "reasonable price"--that can be hard to find here in the Bay Area!
The owner of Yeaman Auto Body in Palo Alto, Scott Yeaman, is a 914 guy. He knows the cars, and it probably won't be $4K just to tape and shoot it--if you've done all the prep already. But I don't think he's the cheapest out there... Our own McMark can get it done as well! There was a guy named Bob Cross over in Fremont (I think) who used to paint Porsches in his garage for extra money. I don't know if he still does, or even if he's still around... --DD |

That seems like something that might work as well. :-) Thanks everyone. Don. |
