No such thing as a good quality cheap job.


But I'd honestly say go to creative kustoms. Half my car was painted by george and you can't tell it from stock. Basically for a full paint job I'd expect to pay $4500 or so.



I'm guessing insurance is paying for this..if it's not you're crazy. Just have them deal with it.


call the insurance company. They'll give you a choice of their shops. Pick the one with the best reputation.

Don't skimp out because you'll be pissed when it's not right.

On another note..if it's deep enough to have taken it down to metal there is a good chance they grooved the actualy body panels....so make sure you have a shop that can handle that.

I wouldn't be surprised to see prices from $4500-6500.

Image Autobodies in so. sf (or was it colma?) does good work but charges up the ***.

realitively good/ kinda cheap place would be H&H in oakland, they just moved into a new shop by the fruitvale bart station.

insurance?

Use your insurance....that's what you pay for every year.

El Camino body shop did really great paint work on two of my misubishi's, one of which was a metalic green paint and you could not tell the difference afterwards. They even repaired some shatty orange peel looking paint from another shop.

My buddy swears by B-line body shop too, which is a BMW place but they'll do anything. I've seen thier work and it's awesome too.

Good luck, hope you get proof who did it and bust him.
