searched "norcal paint" and "bay area paint" and nothing worth mentioning popped up...

i pretty much need a cheap paint job thatll last me a year or 2.5 at most (not asking much, right? wait til you see my budget, lol)...obviously by all means nothing too extravagant...im talking cheap...im talking $100 per panel cheap...simple single stage oem color (s14 zenki AJ4) with clear...little to no prep/body work...all i have to paint is an s14 front bumper w/ lip, pair of fenders, kouki sides (not much needed to paint those), and a rear bumper...

does earl schieb or miracle paint panels only? i always thought they only take cars...ive heard a few decent to good things about a few miracles scattered in the bay...

whether it be a reputable shop or someone doing sidejobs that come out at least decent in their backyards...LMK fellas!!!

My friend got his entire Integra sprayed at the RWC Earl Scheib for $625 or 725, I can't remember

I saw the paint job in person. It had silver metallic flake and looked pretty good.

They even included some dent repair in that price, you should contact them.

thanks for the tip...the AJ4 on my car is REALLY clean and well kept so i dont really want to prep and spray over it...seems like a waste...and besides, theres nothing like OEM...thats the reason im not doing the whole car...

i have also heard very good things about Earl Scheib.

but i would imagine it varies by shop.

Take it to the Maaco on Stockton Ave in San Jose. Good quality work. Better paint than Earl Shieb. They use PPG paint for even the lower grade w/ integrated clear coat. They do fleet cars and hot rods: newer facility, better quality work. I'm getting my car sprayed there (w/ the 3-stage PPG) in a few weeks. Tell them Victor sent you ;)

honestly my car isnt even in paint yet so i cant say for sure

but i had pretty good vibes from them when i was in there...dude showed me a couple cars that they were painting and it looked legit

total charge including tax + door jambs was $1200

this includes sanding/prepping the entire car, popping out the dings, and popping out the huge dent i have in my 1/4 panel near the taillight

5 year warranty against fade and cracking with the 3stage MAACO paint

i'll post up pics once my car is done..i need to wait for my wheels to come from the wheel shop so i can mount the overfenders before it goes in
