Question Is there any place in Orange County that paint cars?

I want to paint my car .... is there any good places that charge a decent price with good quality paint around Orange County? Hunington Beach to be exact. Thanks in advance.

All my friends tell me Maaco is the cheapest place to go. We are all from Orange County (Placentia, Anaheim, Diamond Bar Area). Where Maaco is? Iono, but im guess its somewherez around here cause they suggested it to me. I will ask em later where it is located. But I would just get a phone book and look for it. Latez

Hey i live near a Maccoo... i heard they really do a shitty job but they are cheap. Are you sure your friend tell you to go to that crap place??? Or am i mistaken that it is a good place to go to.

Are you looking for a custom paint job? Or just to fix a bad/deteriorating one? I wouldn't recommend Macco for a custom job, they usually specialize in cheap insurance jobs and overall body painting after accidents. Look around into more specialty shops if you're looking for something custom that will come out good quality.

It's probably a ways from you, but I'd check out Auto Explosion. If I were to get my car done again in LA, I WOULD DEFINITELY take it there. They've done so many nice show cars lately and they're pretty reasonable. They did the Eclipse spyder on the new Lowrider Euro. A few of their cars have had cover shoots for Import Tuner.

One of the best body work/paint shops in the United States can be found in Orange County. They're called Body Pros, located in Garden Grove, CA. They do RJ De Vera's cars including the NSX and his new yellow MR2. Many of the Art-N-Motion cars as well. They do SEMA cars, IAS cars...etc. etc. Check them out at www.bodypros.com. They were featured in Dateline, NBC and other mags. etc. for their work.

Body Pros is good also. I've only been there once but I was pretty impressed with what they've done. As for Art N' Motion, it's kind of cool...the only two NoCal members are from the same town as me...Modesto...well I'm actually from Ripon which is a shitty town about 10 miles north of Modesto
