Hey guys I am looking for a decent paint shop around the bay?? I dont want to go to a super cheap shop and have my paint last for a year but I dont have the money to get a 2 thousand dollar paint job either. I am located in Livermore area. Any suggestions guys?? Thanks!!

any decent paintjob is going to be worth 2k+. Even if you do all the prep work yourself im guessing it's still going to be expensive.

I hate to say it, but $2000 is a cheap paint job that will fall off in a year

Yeah I figured that anything under 5k was going to be a somewhat crappy paint job. Looking to spend around 1k, I dont need fenders or hood painted so I'm hoping that will save me some money.

Save up for a good paint job.. Removing a crappy paint job costs $$, if you decide for a good paint job down the line...

The only way you are going to get that cheap of a paint job is this: 50 Dollar Paint

Thanks for the info!! they are all super close to my house too. I actually have had miracle paint two of my old cars in the past. They do excellent work for the money you spend (under 700$). However I have always went to the miracle in Modesto.

That turned out actually pretty nice hahah

Thanks for the advise. Im going to start saving more now

I actually did this on my old Dodge Diesel. It turned out decent. Certainly good enough for an older beater work truck.
