Maaco. They usually have specials for 500 bucks.

LMAO. j/k

I've been wondering where to get a GREAT paint job done to a car, a place where the painter is **** and believe in perfection. Most likely hard to find a place/person that will do show quality work.

Hopefully, someone on this forum will know of a place. I would like to get my car painted to another color in the near future (if I keep my car).

Are you guys willing to drive down to Tacoma? I know of a shop that can definitely take care of you guys. They just got done painting my whole front end including the authentic amuse bumper, nismp side skirts, and my rear bumper. Anyways let me know! Also, you don't have to worry, this is an actual major shop and not someone working out of the garage

How are the parts you had done? Are they factory or better quality with a good clear coat?

Quality is awesome! Better paint and clear than factory but they blended my panels so the the match is perfect. I know they use PPG paint if that helps at all, but you can tell the differences between quality when comparing to another Z. How much work are you looking to get done? They are pretty picky about letting customers use after market parts because they warranty their paint for life but as long as you use good quality parts, you should be fine. Just remember, quality work comes at a price!

Like I said on another thread: My mom always said, "it's better to pay a little more for a quality product that will last, rather than pay a bargain price up front and pay for it later."

Currently I have a Visage Full Body Kit. I'm not looking to do any work at this moment, but I like to know who I can trust to go to when I need to. I will be changing out some body parts and changing the whole car completely to another color.

If you have the name of the place, phone #, address and who to contact, I will put this info onto my computer and look them up when I am ready.

Curious to know how much they charged for the work you had done. This will help me gauge what they charge.

For anyone who would like to get their stuff painted.

My neighbor has his own paint booth in his garage and will paint for anyone I know, for a great price (cash). Save on tax and then some.

If you need complete paint, he'll do it at the shop, small projects he will do it for a great price in his garage. He does alot of high end cars like Porsches, Ferrai's, Lambo's, etc. He finished off a Diablo recently for 200,000+ (the guy who owns it wrecked it).

He's a good guy, been my next door neighbor for a few years.

The shop is in Everett or just South of it. We live just off of Mill Creek.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

I need someone who can do some touch-up work from the last time my girlfriend ever drove my car. Two light scuffs above the driver's rear fender, and one in the clearbra on the front bumper. Can any of these guys help w/ small work?
