i did some stupid shit and now its time to fix it. Does any know oir can recomend some good body shops. I have gotten a few estimtes already and two from friends body shops. Just lookin around for the best deal.

 

I dont know, just dont go to the one where that pink CL got done at if they allow a car to leave like that, they should be shut down

 

what'd u do BTW?

 

Go to Auto Pro...Good place!

 

Maybe he went to MAACO its only 250.00 paint job there!

 

$250?!?!? for the whole car? jesus that's fucking cheap... I think. Whats'a good price for a quality paint job?

 

1000+ and up for a good basecoat/clearcoat

 

jesus christ, I don't have a grand. I gues I'm not getting my car painted for quite a while

 

spray paint its only like a dollar a can :P

 

oh boy.... here we go again...

 

if you do get your car sprayed Make sure you get a clearcoat. or the paint will not look as shiny as stock( when i was new) oh and that 1000 quote was cheap i got quoted 2000, but thats because i have some small dents on my car

 

guys, leave him alone. he's asking a legit question here.

mycarmensita, i dunno too much about body shops except the ones in aplapatta or overtown. you won't want those.

 

honestly i dont really care where the body shop is as long as its not that far, if they are good and they are a good price i am good. Why is the maco paint job cost so little? i always wondered

 

i drove when i wasnt in the greatest condition and i made it home and surely enough my brother had put in the bottom pole to a new basketball hoop and i didnt see it and backed along side it.

 

Maaco uses a cheap one stage polyurethane paint; their technique of painting leaves you with lots of orange peel; they are extemely messy, getting paint all over your moldings; this description basically describes their "Ambassador" line of service. Which BTW sucks. And for this reason I went all DIY!!! Glad I did!!!

And as far as a good body shop...as I recall, there is a reputable shop on Coral Way (24th St) going west. It is just a big blue building, I don't recall the name, but Illbsee if I can find it. I took my car in for an insurance claim and although I didn't get my car fixed there I talked to some of the folks there and took a tour of the shop and yes they are of very high quality for very reasonable prices. Post a picture and I'll give you a quote that you probably can go to a shop down here with, using it as a gauge/asking price.

I have to check my address book but that's at work, I'll post when I get it. I know I have the business card. In the meantime...goodluck!!!

 

New paint jobs suck. Too expensive. Take care of it and wax the fuck out of it when you get it fixed.

 

berjam at auto pro does nice body work.


I do nice body work.

If you go by there you sill see a good mix of ferrari's bmw's mercedes along with hondas and nissans sitting in their bays and out front. They do prob the best work Ive seen, only thing is to paint the whole car and take out any little dents look at about $2,500.

 

Ya well thats the thing i have a dent behind the driver side door thats about 2 feet by 2 feet not to deep, i got alot out, but still there. Then i have the rest of the car minor drings and dents all over.

 

They will prob just put on a new panel since our cars are made out of soft metal, you just cant get it to look perfect if you try and bang it out.

 

whoa shit thats a huge panel
