Hey guys, Im gunna be doin the Vertex kit on my Silverstone, and I have heard some horror stories about the paint not matching up, or really matching at all, or rock chips, and just crappy paint jobs, I really wanto avoid that at all costs, and would be willing to pay the extra few bucks for a GOOD QUALITY paintjob.

Things Im affraid of: Riced out paintjob (notice any of thoes teenagers that have all thoes white speckaled front bumpers due to CRAPPY quick, cheap paint jobs, I DONT WANT THAT. Also affraid of discoloration, not matching good.

Let me know, I really need some input. Thanks!

 

Go to DTM Autobody...ask for David, Mia, or Maggie and tell them Jon with the Sun 350z sent you. They do awesome work and I would not trust anyone else with my car.

 

Hey thanks man... How long has the paint been on your car? Any chips or flaking? How was the color match?

 

MOB Works took good care of me. They're in Orange. Talk to Miguel, he's a good, straight up guy.

I have heard good things about DTM Autobody and a paint shop in El Monte but I cant remember the name though. I believe Rickdogg goes to them, but I'm not sure.

 

You can look up Monterey Park Auto body can talk with JOhnson for a second quote.

A lot of the "poor" quality is because fiberglass body kits suck. THey don't hold up to the abuse of actual driving.

 

+1 for MOB Works and Miguel.

 

+2 for MOB Works.

 

+3 for MOB Works!

i have 2 friends that work at JT Autobody and they're basically going to be painting my car too and also in SS. talk to chad or steve and tell them quan sent u.

 

This is the second time I have painted my car so you can say the paints been on there for almost 2 years now. No flaking and chips are inevitable, but they are small. Now I have clear bra so no chips!!! Color match is perfect!!! They can even match lemans and PPW!

 

btw - The reason its my second time painting my car is not because the paint job, but because I went widebody lol!

 

+4 for mob works and miguel,real cool guy and good prices....he just did my bumpers in silverstone and they came out perfect!

 

i agree with beer goggles. i had my amuse bumper installed by johnson from monterey park auto body. if you're pretty close to monterey park, i would suggest them.

 

Hey guys, Thanks for all the great advise. Should I just call all those ppl and get quoutes, about how much would my whole kit be. sideskirts, front, and rear bumper. Silverstone.

 

ok I just called around and MOB works wanted $2000... I think thats rediculouse...

M1 autobody qouted me $900 for paint and fitment...but said it would be extra $$$ for like any adjustment or modifications that might be needed. Not a bad deal....

DTM autobodys phone was disconnected...

my friend has a hookup at JT auto style... gunna call there ill let you guys know =)

 

I highly rec. Auto Werks in El Monte. They installed and painted my Vertex kit last year, and repaired and repainted my rear bumper last month after an accident. Great service and craftmanship.

plus they do a lot of industry cars for Tein, Import Tuner Magazine etc and the shop was featured in a series of episodes for Street Tuner Chellenge on speed TV.

okay ... I just called JT Autostyle and the girl there said it would be like $650 plus whatever adjustments or modifications that might be needed. All the shops gaurantee color match and flaking and what not...

Auto Werks in El Monte quoted me around $900... Not to bad =)

 

eh I just got a quote from a local shop AutoHan to paint a front bumper for my mr2 and he said his paint guy can do it for $150 To my understanding, AutoHan is a very respectable and pretty well known shop in this area and they specialize in nissans/infinitis so I trust their work. You should give him a call.
