well its that time my car has one to many dings/scratches in it and if i look at it for much longer ill throw up. im in the santa clarita valley (poor me) anyone know of any good paint places within 100 miles of santa clarita or san diego (i love spending time down there). the palmdale area is good too. Well im open pretty much to all of SoCal so just a good, reliabe CHEAP paint place is what im looking for. I plan on painted my civic the original Torino Red has anyone done something similar to this and if yes what did it run u? thanks in advance.

if u go to san diego.. u can go to All PRO paint and Body off Miramar rd. I got my painted there.. they are a commercial paint shop so they don't do to much body work. I painted my ride for 279.99 (there best paint job w/ a coupon) Just do ur own body work have them paint it.. SAVES u alot of money. They also use Sherwin Williams paint and integrated clear coat...

I'm sure there's hundereds of good shops down in SoCal. When I pick out a shop though, I prefer to go to the ones that are pretty involved in the import scene. I've never really "inspected" one of their jobs, but I'd suggest Auto Explosion. They've done a lot of show cars. Here's a few pics of some of the cars they've done.

Sorry for so many pics, but as you can see, they've had a lot of experience with imports. I think they're pretty cheap too. They're in Gardena. You can also try Body Pros. They did RJ's NSX and probably his S2000 too. Two of the more expensive shops are JT Auto in Rosemead and 20/20 in Industry. 20/20 did my car as well as LJ's hatch and his sedan.
But then again, I'm sure there's a ton of shops that aren't involved with the scene that can do an awesome job. Happy hunting:)
