hello, ht, well im not really new to the site just dont be on much, anyways i just got a 92 da9, it has jdm headlights, 91 tails, jdm gauge cluster, and a couple other jdm goodies, the car is red and i absolutely hate red, im from central jersey and im looking for a reputable shop to get the car painted, can anyone help me out with some suggestions, i'll post pics of my car soon

 

Call the honda dealership near you and ask who does the body work for them?

 

thanks for your help man, its silly that i didnt think of that and i used to work for toyota and have them get bodywork done. slipped my mind, thanks again!

i would just spring for another car... look to spend between 1.5-3 grand for a complete paint job... depending on the shop, whether or not you do some of the prep work, whether or not you want the jams painted, etc. to me, it's not worth it. just my .02

why would i buy a new car? the da9 is a great car, i love them and thats all that matters, everyone has a hatch so theres nothing you can do to them to stand out and ive owned two 93 si's, one turbo and one stock d16, the body of my car is in great shape, just need it another color!

does anybody else have any suggestions on bodyshops in central jersey, really need name of reputable body shop for my car, looking to paint her silver or white

 

just go maaco. everyone gives them a bad rap. just search for maaco in the forums an look at the cars ppl had painted. for a old car its not worth paying 3 g's for a paint job. go to maaco an do all the bodywork yourself and wetsand it an mask it b4 u bring it in....ive had 2 cars done by them and they come out fine. dont believe other ppls opinions bout maaco....its a decent job for the money.

 

i was looking into maaco, but i had my truck painted by them and it sucked, this is my baby and i dont wanna spend 3g's on a paint job, just need her a diff color, white or silver, maybe blue, i had a black cl and it was a bitch to maintain

 

Maaco at times can have polar feedbacks from people.. some will say their great some will say they suck.

You cant generalize Maaco itself.

Its all about the people working there

 

I had Maaco paint my 94 civic and it turned out great for $500 . I got it ready and used a coupon then told em to spray extra clear on it . I was happy for what I paid . Maaco is worth it to me just prep it yourself .

 

i just paid about 1.4k for my paintjob, honestly it CAN be good. It all depends on the people there. The ones that did my car, i don't think they did a great job, decent for the price i paid. 4 year warranty, door jams, clear coat, wetsand, prep-plus, didn't sand it down or anything myself (didn't have enough time). Customer service wise from the maaco i went to.....let's just say they have a temper and foul language will come out. It all depends on the owner of the shop and how they treat their customers.
