Where to get pearl paint job and kit install
I live up near sacramento, and wanted to get some recommendations for good paint shops in the area. I dont want to spend more than $4000 for a complete pearl paint job and kit install (zerosports). Hook it up with the info.

I think the reason no one responded might be that 4,000 for a COMPLETE paint job and body kit install is impossible, unless you're willing to suck the painters cack.
Wait wait, what am I talking about?!
Check out Miracle, or Earl Scheib. They can probably do it for you for about a grand. I mean, sure the body kit will be hanging by 3 strings within 6 months and all the paint will chip and peel within 6 months after that, but a 4,000 dollar paint job anywhere else is gonna do the same thing, so you might as well save 3 grand.
They even have an offer for coupons at http://earlscheib.com/
Thats QUALITY!
No no... please don't thank me.

iMPULSZE, sorry I dont know any shops in your area...
but as you probably know...it can get expensive due to a few things. The shop you go to, the brand of paint, color, and ofcourse..all the labor involved. I have worked at shops that charge anywhere fron $4,000-$8,000. for COMPLETE paint Jobs.
When you go to pick a place, see if they have pics from other customers jobs. Or try to see some that are there. See how the shop looks and if the workers act professional. You can tell if the employees care about the customers cars or not and then you can see if you want to leave your car with them. Get it?
Hope this helps

if you're serious about getting good work for a reasonable price, I'd go w/one of the places in SoCal.....$upply & demand.
All of the following do excellent work:
