Complete Paint Work Needed

Greetings to you ALL.

I have an FC3S in need of complete paint work.
No body work is needed at all.
A little, almost negligible amount of surface rust.

I've done some cold calling and have been receiving estimates of $1500+ and even $5000. I want to do this paint once, and to do it right.

Do any of you guys know of any places in Toronto/Scarborough that will complete the job with LOVE (for rx7s) with PRIDE (for rx7s) and with a DISCOUNT (for the LOVE and PRIDE for rotaries).

Thanks,

VDOZA

thanks STYX!
its been awhile.
I just got my FC into the shop for a rebuild.
I'm going to take it to paint while the engine's being worked on.
Hagersville, ON. It's ways away, but if their pricing is worth the tow I'd go for it.

If you want to bring to Montreal

Hello

If you want to bring it to Montreal I know a guy that does wonders with cars. He did a full repaint of my 72 Triumph STAG (removing all trim before painting and hand wet sanding afterwards) all for a very good price. I had no rust but for a little surface rust around the windshield frame when the glass was removed which he corrected. He works on his own.

I stand by him and his quality. No drip, eyes, blemishes etc. He even put some sort of black tar type stuff on the inside of all the trim before replacing on to the car advising me that with doing that the car will NEVER rust in the future. No corners cut with him and he is prob cheaper than most. I don't recall what I spent but he took me to the supply shop for the paint material and I paid 2K for the paint and clear plus misc materials (base coat clear coat of the highest quality was used). I think his labor was not more than that but each car is different.

The pictures do not do is work justice.

Regards

Max

+1 for joe!

I've seen his work, seems to be pretty good!

He might be painting my GTR this fall, depending on how things go with me.
