I live in the Bay Area, and I want to get a new paint job on my FD.

The only problem, I do not know how to find someone I can trust with taking care of my car for the new paint job.

Has anyone in the Bay Area found a place that is definitely worth taking my car to?

If so, what is the price range and where are they located?

What's your info? Email or phone number? I have a guy who does professional paint job himself and the prices are pretty good too. Let me know and I will have him contact you.

You guys are so lucky. Bodyshops on the east coast are so bad

I was thinking the same thing, especially in NJ!!! We have a ton of them, none of them are competent.

Chango are you going to drop your engine for the paint job too? Do you guys know if i can bring my hood there for the paint job only cuz it's badly chipped by rocks.

I would love to get my engine painted as well, but I dont know what parts I can have painted.
Still a noob when it comes to the engine.

I think he's only open on Saturday till noon. Btw he really likes FDs and he really wanted one himself, so at least he very positive on working on the car.

How long does it usually take for the paint job to be done?

I'm not sure, I know I left my car there for 3 months +1 month not picking it up, since I was in college and had a beater car to drive. I did tell him no rush either though. Stop by an ask or give him a quick call.

I had mine painted at Western Auto Body in Sebastopol (Santa Rosa). It may be a bit far for you, but they did superb work at realistic prices.

How long did it take for them to completely paint your car?
