paint job

Thanks Adam. I'll check it out in the a.m. pliable, you better hope I don't get in line in front of you.

To the rest of the community: any more good shops down this way??

I forgot to add... here's his work, but you don't get a very good idea of it since the pic is so small.

Before (if you look closely at the molded line, you see overspray):


After:


It was next to impossible to determine where the old paint stopped (at the doors) and the new started after he was done.

Go for it, I'm in no rush.

I bought mine with a big dent in it Will need that fixed and something done to daughter's car as well as a color match for the hardtop I scrounged up. Unless someone wants to buy it from me first. It's black & near mint.

It turns out that Frisco Paint & Body and Ed's Body shop do not accept total vehicle paint jobs. I got a quote from Frisco to repaint my hardtop for $450.

Does anybody have a silver hardtop thay would want to swap with a red one?

When did they change that?

They both said they do collision damage repair primarily and are not really into total vehicle paint jobs. Maybe they've just gotten busier.

Yeah, years ago when I was young and stupid. Had them paint my '83 RX-7 Limited. Between mixing the paint to the wrong color (when did 'champagne silver' become 'mint green'?) and removing the spoiler by prying it off instead of simply loosening the two easy access bolts that held it on, I would have to say that I would rather shave my entire body with a dull razor and bathe in lemon juice before I set foot in another Maaco shop again.

I got my beater painted at Maaco, and even by beater standards, it was bad. It almost seems to me that one would have to TRY to get that much orange peel in a paint job.

Expect to pay at least $1,500 for a good paint job.
