Hey guys just seeing if any of you know any reputable paint/body shops in the OC area?
I know of a few in LA as well as PAC autobody but there a bit far away and not open weekends.
I've got an s14 I just did a kouki conversion to. Car has 1 dent and little dings here and there. Kouki front end is black and the rest of the car is emerald green. I'm looking to get my car painted white.
I've got $1,000-1,200 to spend.
Thanks guys!

DTM Autohaus, just got mines painted and it came out great. Though your budget is a little low. I'm sure they can work with you on your budget.

Same here, small dents and dings. I'm painting it myself because they're really not that big of a deal.
Haha I was kidding about Earl Schieb

if you're only going to spend $1200 to change the color of the car, you're probably going to get a crappy job. Earl Schieb might be your best bet.

This.
Save up more money and have it done right the first time.
I've seen my share of "hook up" jobs for under $1k.
Complete shit.
I mean, unless your best friend OWNS a body shop, then I can see $1200 possibly happening(doing it on the side and only working on it in his spare time...which sometimes takes months), but unless you have that sort of "hook up", I don't see it happening.
Just save up more money.
Don't cheap out on important things such as paint(well, that's if you give a shit about your car).
When you cheap out on paint, you're just adding layers of garbage to your car that will have to be removed a few years down the road(that will end up costing you more in the long run).

If you don't plan to track your car or only on occasion get a good paint job. Otherwise keep it low budget. The curse of my car is it's nice paint. I used to track it before I got it painted. Now I can't see myself taking it to the track =(
