If anyone is looking to get some paint done-look inside!

Just got done getting some seats re-upholstered, and while looking at this 64 impala's bitchen paint job, my upholstery guy referred me next door To the body shop that did the paint...

Everyone that knows me on the forum , knows im SUUUPER picky about my cars, AAAAND im always looking for the best deals! and i am really surprised at the quality of work for the price of the job.

Mind you this isnt a one day maaco job, they strip to bare metal, prime+ paint and clear/color sand...So dont expect a 500 dollar paint job. If your lookin for paint pm me!

I just took a couple quick snaps of some of the cars they were working on, they had about 6 more classics out front. The pics dont really do it justice, and my camera sucks dick. But a bad picture is better than no picture.

The shop is in covina

I'm actually more interested in what the upholster charged you to do your seats. The guy I've been going to for 20 years went out of business. So am in the market for an alternative.

His name is Martin, his cell is 562-322-6841.

He's off arrow and citrus by the 210 fwy.

Tell him Shayne (the vw guy) sent ya, and he will cut ya a good deal.

Right next door to him is the paint shop, If your interested in paint talk to suzie the owner and tell her shayne (the volkswagen guy) sent ya and she will give ya a good deal too

Glad it worked out for you. yes, Martin is a cool guy, did all of our old school RX-2 to 4 upholstery including headline, dash and carpet. He copied the orginal design on the door panels and seats. The body shop next door to him did the body work and paint on my son's triple black RX-3.
