Paintshop in San Antonio?

Anyone know of a decent place in San Antonio where I can get a decent paint job w/o paying arm and leg. I just want to get my turbo eclipse repainted so I can sell it. Just repainted red again, and get the dings and stuff out. Thanks guys!

Ask for Gasper. Let him know Andrea with the Silver TL Type S sent you. They did a phenomenal job on mine. My best friend Eric is one of the painters. He'll treat your car like it's his own.

^ Depends on what you're getting done. They are very honest and unlike most places they don't require an appointment for a quote. Even though I am good friends with him, I was curious to what other shops would charge me for the same work and Blue Ribbon was by far cheaper. Which I think was because they didnt charge as much for the hourly labor rate and their guestimate for how long the job would take was shorter. So that reduced the costs. If you give them a call I'm sure they'll be more than welcome to tell you what it is. 210-637-7665

Well some of it I had done because I wanted to fix the s**t the previous owner did. Literally gave them my car and said make her perfect! lol

New OEM rear bumper (small dents pissed me off & it was only $100 more just to replace it), drivers side rear quarter panel repainted (severe door ding repaired), passenger side view mirror repainted (scratch), front passenger door repainted (ran over beer bottle which broke into pieces on my door), and stock side skirts repainted (clear coat was peeling bad, done before lip kit was planned).

I've got ASM and they did such a great job with color matching. My silver just sparkles now!

You want to speak with Gasper not Eric. I don't know who Angel is.

I have no idea. I don't work with Blue Ribbon Collision. Besides you have to stop by the shop for a quote. They cannot guestimate a price without seeing your car in person.
