As the title says.

Looking for an automotive paint shop that can be referred to me by a CL member. Lookin for the whole exterior paint job to be done. Anyone know any good places they can vouch for?

Ummmmm yep, my boy has his own shop. He's done all my work and looked out for a few other NELOC members as well. It's in Qns if you're interested.

Ever seen or been to the shop in Richmond Hill on Atlantic Ave and 126th/127 St? (it's a big corner shop, forgot the name) i think it's by Smokey Park. They usually have a Black or Green 92-95 Civics outside with Lambo doors and sick paint jobs. The paint changes colors in light, not a chameleon paint job. In sunlight its one shade, in the street lights, it's another shade, etc. His alignments are really good also; very good work.

I hate when shops don't take off door guards, bumpers, fenders, etc. very unprofessional.

Yeah I see the cars everyday but turned off by the whole neon F&F look, I recommend my boys shop because he's a personal friend and will look out for NELOC members when it comes to price.

It wasn't a comparison, I have never been impressed enough with the cars to take any business there. But that's just my two cents. I've only seen Civics out there, nothing high end.

on phone now:

("Hey Junior, let me know when Carlos brings in his car so I add a special ingredient to his paint")


LOL, yeah, just tell him Cliff sent you. He uses qualty paint (PPG, etc) so I don't think you'll be dissapointed at all.
