I was recently at an accident . Basically every part in front of the car needs to be either replaced or realigned, but there is no frame damage. Insurance company did not total the car. So that leave me with the problem.... I've got to repaint the car. I don't trust the shop were the car is at now to paint the car, as they managed to mismatch the bumper and rear qaurter panel paint the last time I was there. This time they are giving me a guarantee, but I feel kind of iffy about it. Other problem... I do not like the color of the car. Its faded. What else can I say? So say I do give the car to the shop to repaint, I'm just going to end up with a two toned car
Basically, I want to repaint the car in a different color. Not red. Money is a little bit tight, as I'm a student. Basically, I do not want a one day shop with money running around with spray guns. So I guess that puts my budget around $2000. Anyone know a shop were I can get the whole car repainted for that budget
I'm in West Hollywood, so around 323/310. I don't really mind driving out 50 minutes for quality work though.
Thanks guys

i went to this one body shop yesterday in walnut i think and they were gonna charge me $400 to paint a new trunk lid i bought and to install it. Even though I bought a brand new trunk lid, i was hoping i could drop it off and then come bak to install it when it was finished because i need my car for work, but they said im gonna have to leave my car there for about a full day so they can match the color because of yearly fading. I'm not quite sure if this is a high price, wad do you guys think?
