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. |

$300 will barely cover the minimum amount of the cheapest quality paints. Maaco/etc are your best bet. Or do it yourself. Bodywork is the hard part, laying on paint is much easier.

Bodywork is the hard part, laying on paint is much easier. Yeah, i know i can't do it for $300, but was looking for something in the $1000 or so range. I'm just about finished with all of the bodywork, but I don't have the equipment or experience painting cars, so i didn't want to tackle that. I've actually asked all of my car guy friends, and none of them do paint work either. :-( So any other suggestions on places that do "inexpensive" paint jobs are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! Don. |
