Reputable SoCal body shops? Looking to mold kits and repaint...

not looking for $$ work, but i want a paint job that will last and not bubble/crack/etc..

my first choice was m1 autobody but i have decided they are a bit too pricey for me. looking to paint my car grand prix white, and i want to paint my engine bay matte black and my roof black as well... any ideas guys?

probably gonna cost a pretty penny to do all of that.. whats the original color of the car?

If its not black, they're gonna have to gut the e-bay for a decent/good job of the matte black. Plus, they're gonna have to strip all the outside, door jams, and (if you want an excellent job) the interior as well for the white. dunno.

Either way, I hope you have lotsa $$$.

Good luck.
