^He used Mako. I think Jose told me they were charging him $600 for the bumper and fender. Jose doesn't like to pay to play.

Let me know what shop you go to and how it works out...I've been putting off getting paint work done myself for a while waiting to hear about a good one in the central FL area.

nick autobody pros its doing my car and the work looks pretty good so far. damn the rain though, cant paint in the rain due to too much moisture in teh air so they cant paint the front today or tomorrow, but hopefully friday. which means i wont get my car back until mon or tues. this sucks

My take on it is this.......there are small details that make up a good paint job and body work and some of it you will not notice right away when you pick up your car. There are things on my car that most everyone has not or will not notice but I know it and perhaps a car show judge will see it. Samuels does great work and they are pricey. A great paint job requires alot of prep work and therefore you'll pay for it. Not all bodywork and paint jobs require a "great" shop though.

As for Fleet; I would NEVER refer anyone to them simply because it would make me look bad IF they treated them the way they treated me. If you can handle that biatch go for it. She is NOT difficult.......she is downright rude and disrespectful. Just my .02. I wouldn't even let them paint my helicopter.
