Well I got my front painted after it got tapped by an Asian lady by this body shop down the street. The owner there had a Hemi Charger and Dart. I will get you the name as soon as I find the card. The paint came out great on the car. When it is washed I can glide a towel across the hood and will fall of on the other side.

I have the exact same questions but I'm looking for a place in the Northern California area. I am willing to drive up to 3 hours. My car is really dull and chipping in a lot of places. I want my whole car sanded down to the metal. I want something good that will last. I've heard all the horor stories you guys tell about Maaco but I went to another chain just to get a quote and see what their sevice is like. I went to Miracle paint. They basically said that if you get a cheap paint job, you get a cheap paint job. For what I wanted, they quoted me about $4,000 including the door jambs and some very minor body work. But can you guys recommend any places up here in Northern California?

Don't want to take away any responses from you trance am. Sorry Help us both!

Thanks!

Paso Robles? I live here too... Try Team Auto Collision out on Monteray road. I just had a full custom paint job done on my Yukon and am VERY happy with the results. Ask for Ed.

Let's meet up sometime? I have a cruise planned for April 26th, check the west coast region board for details.
