HELP! Need a low cost paint shop

Hey - car stalled on bridge and CalTrans pushed me off - bumper is scratched up badly - where can I get this painted at?

Thanks.

Yeah, I forgot - he did my Morettes and hood scoop. That's the place that used to be next door to where you used to work right Mike?

Lucky 7 in Antioch. Oh, no, you said cheap, so you probably don't want to spend like a grand on the bumper alone. I would reccomend Masters. They did a bang up job on my side skirts for dirt cheap.

Ehh, it's understandable. They are seriously world famous. They do all of the D'Agusto cars (or whatever his name is) that have won countless car shows. Also, if you ever watch 'Biker Build-Off' on the Discovery Channel, they painted the blue one that won the overall competition (the one with the air suspension.) If you had your morrettes painted there they would have a 10x nicer paintjob than the rest of the car.

he refused to paint just the Morrettes by themselves - he wanted to blend them into the existing paint job, that's why it was so expensive. I think he also told me he has a minimum of $500 or somehting else kind of high.

That's what I'm looking for, but I don't see an "autoworld" in Oakland

Nevermind, was listed as Auto World, found it on Google:

510-832-1668
844 E. 12th
