paint job
so i just got a rear kit so anyone know a cheap but good matching paint shop... i look around and i got prices from $200-300... kinda expensive for my pocket... so looking for anything under $200 would be great...also around the eastbay(richmond..etc..)

Rep Power: 319 well to be honest it would be cheapest to do it urself...i got all my paint/clearcoat/activator/reducer and other supplies for less than $200 with a student discount at a local paint shop...but if u dont know how which im guessin than look around and get quotes from the phone book listings...than go with one that isnt the cheapest yet has a reputable name...if its cheap it'll come out like **** most likely
$200 sounds about right.
auto world body and frame in oakland 510 replaced a fender, repaired door skin, and other minor body pieces and turned out just like OEM. paint matches perfectly and no problems at all with it. paint still looking new for about half a year now. i even waxed it and polished and still no sign of fade. only downfall is that they take a long time (4-5 weeks) on me. prob because i was going thru insurance.
ive heard of automax can do cheap paint jobs, but they do like 2 coats or less for like 1 bill. thats where i got my rear rsx bumper painted lol. paint matches fine as well. never polished/waxed it though

Rep Power: 294 well there is larry's autobody in fairfield....nice folks to deal with and good work for the price. if you do the body prep on the parts...and buy the paint it would be like $100 or less to paint lip kit parts...(thats wat im doing) and if you do all body prep on your car and buy the paint its like a $500 job. 2 of my frinds from team ultraspeed got there cars done from him, they did all the body prep and brought it to larry's. and he did an overnight job just in time for HIN.
