Reputable car paint shop.

I know a lot of socal guys have custom paint on their G35s. I wanted to know where u guys had the cars painted at. Im thinking of painting my car to a custom color since i have a lot of minor body damage and paint chippings on it. The main reason i want to do this is bacuse i know i will be done with POS factory paint.

I feel you...

Im getting tired of my weak paint too, but im not sure if I would be willing to spend over a grand [mostly likely much more than 1k] for a whole paint job.

+1 on M1.

We send all our project cars there.
You do get what you pay for.

But be forewarned, the better places do take their time with cars.
The last thing you want a rush job on is body work.

Trust me, i've learned the hard way in the past.
The cars i've personally seen that come out of M1 are top notch.

M1 is so over priced and if your not there everyday on top of their heads making sure they dont brake parts or lose parts off you car your screwed.... They just say oh the car came in like this....

If you're in the 818 take it to H2 Autobody in Northridge....They always have lambos and porsches in there that have been 200% total and they bring them back to life 110%. Let me know if you need me to make a call.

Out of curiosity, on average what does a reputable shop charge for a full custom color painting?
