Quality Paint/Body Shop Needed
« on: February 16, 2008, 01:38:24 PM »
I'm passing on the desire to buy a new car and have decided to paint my car a different color.  Can any of you folks recommend a shop that can provide an oem or better paint job.  I'm guessing this will be expensive considering the fact that I'll be going from white to a dark silver/gray (ie. altas gray or daytona gray, inclusive of all door jams etc..).  I have a nice budget for this, so price is not an issue as long as its within reason, but quality is key.

Thanks MCA!

Autometrics does amazing paint jobs but they are more of a collision place.  They have done full car paintjobs like this before but its not their money maker. 

I would look for companies that make custom cars or concept cars...they may have ideas for you.

You should get in touch with Autometric in Eastpointe. Get ahold of Steve, he is the Manager there and tell him Jason Richards sent ya. He will take care of you. They just put a new front bumper on my car and painted it, great work!!

I had Big George from Big G kustoms completely redo my DKW, that was paint in and out, they did a great job.
he is located in Dreyden north of Rochester, does mostly custom work but also repairs and total paint jobs.
you can check his site : biggkustoms.com
Very nice guy to deal with.

Autometrics always did a nice job when I've had them do work.
