So long story short my car was keyed while I was staying overnight at seascape resort for my dads wedding.

literally every panel on the car except for the roof and front bumper were keyed and need to be repainted. I figure with that many panels having to be painted I should just get a full paintjob... if I can get insurance to OK it.

I filed a police report and already cnotacted my insurance, they said it will be covered I just have to pay my 100$ deductible (full coverage FTMFGDW!), they gave me the option of going to one of their reccommended shops or going to my own, I opted to pick my own shop but told them I am not sure which one yet.

so my questions are:
1: with 11 panels needing to be repainted (hood, both doors, both front fenders, both rear fenders, trunk, rear bumper) do you think it is likely I will be able to get a full paintjob in a color of my choosing?

2: which shop would you reccomend close to san jose?

Any help is appreciated.

so here are the pics, as u can see they wrote something on the hood it says "F*CK U (something)" I cant make out the last word, it looks like it may be a name (Leon or something) but nothing near my name or anyone I was with, not to mention I was an hour away from home and dont know anyone in that area.. sigh

 

Dude, wtf is it with people doing **** like that?

Good luck finding a place that does a good job without adding any more headaches and BS. As much as I want a new paint job I'm not looking forward that whole process. Ugh.

Hope it works out for you.

 

Holy crap that's terrible

Do not go to International Auto Body in SB. Other than that, good luck finding a quality place

 

I'm not sure of any body shops in the southbay but if you don't mind driving out to Hayward, i'd recommend Grand Collision. They repaired and repainted my car, Ryan's and Ricky's car. Not to mention the yellow Hokori Beetle was repainted there as well.

 

wow

 

tnt autobody in sac. me and kris are getting our paint done there next month. laly's car is at the shop right now

 

man thats messed up!!! something is wrong with someone to do that to someone elses property

 

If you wanna bring ur car to Oakland.. H&H give me a holla looks like youll need to paint the whole car and im sure H&H can do that.. Color change!!

 

Man I'm sorry that happened to you.
I highly recommend TNT auto body here in sac. Tony, the owner is great and their work is top notch. He did all the work on my current kit, and he'll be doing a complete color change on my car in the next month or so. Here's their info:

TNT auto body
8184 Alpine Ave # A
Sacramento, CA 95826-4758
(916) 455-3063

 

+1 on TNT..

 

I think insurance only covers your oem color. Looks like someone wrote F**k on the hood lol. Well on the bright side you get a new paint job.

 

^there might be some ways around that. I think it depends on the body shop

 

tnt ftw!

 

+2 on TNT

 

I took my car to TnT a few months ago, good experience, but he's a little far for you though. He does great work.

Though I've never taken my car to EIP (south San Jose), I've been there many times for dynos/tune and seen their work on EVOs and STIs. I'm thinking of getting my whole car painted there after my engine work is done. He's moving his shop to Milpitas so I'm not sure if he is taking any work now. Tell him I sent you and also his tuning is real good if you need that done at the same time.
