Have you had any work preformed by Christians or seen their work?? I am looking to get my car repainted with the stock Toyota color. I would be happy with a repaint that is equal to OEM (meaning very very little orange peel) or a little better. Would you recommend for a whole car repaint? Thanks.

i would recommend Europro's for a stock painting or a allover paint job. I had my car totally repainted by these guys. Absolutely love the work. Their number is 301-977-7475 located in gaithersburg, md

Good but definitely NOT inexpensive for sure. I have seen 2 of their work products and am impressed but their quote for painting lowers on my car blew me out of the water.

Hey, I got my SRT intake powdered chrome (expensive powder) by a place called HQ powder coating in sterling Virginia and it was still repetitively cheap and he did a GREAT job. ($75) to media blast, powder and clear coat over the powder for added strength.

Email him and tell him the guy with the chrome intake on the IS300 sent you:
