The very best body shop in the Chicago area, the one you would use if you were an absolute perfectionist, is The Last Detail in North Chicago. They do a lot of body work on Ferraris, etc. However, they are VERY expensive and probably not worth it for an Integra.

I've used Schaumburg Auto Body for my Acuras and they're pretty good. I've also used Muller's Honda in Highland Park for my Acuras (they have their own, in-house body shop) and they're pretty good, too. Both places use genuine Acura parts (both get their parts from Muller's Woodfield Acura).

Yeap, it sure does.

 

gunmetal is the bomb thats what i want, that or olive green color

 

I had my old DA painted Pheonix Yellow. It was an eye catcher thats for sure. Pretty sure mine was the only one like it in my area. Too bad I had to sell it..

 

lol no thanks on the yellow, I dont like my car to catch attention
lets just say schaumburg cops (my town) aren't the friendliest guys in town

Gunmetal sounds amazing to me 2!

Can anyone give me a price that they paid, or about what I should pay

And I need the typical rusted rear fenders fixed, i heard like 500$ for that (im poor im only 17)

Should I get the rust fixed seperatly or find a paint place that does both for a good deal?

Long reply short, About what should i be paying for a paint job, and or body work for both fenders rust

 

mine is a nice bright white i think it looks th ebest thats me thoguh

 

that is very nice, but I have white now and want something else im not gona pay like 2grand for another white gets dirty to easy in my opinion
Sweet DA tho very clean! to you!

 

umm...go with dark gray.

 

mine is milano red

 

BP Black

 

Melbourne Blue Metallic. It's a factory DA color but it's fairly rare. Sometimes it looks like a steel blue and sometimes it looks gunmetallic. After I resprayed my DA (it still had the original MBM paint) I got nothing but compliments and people always thought it was a custom color.

This pic was taken back in 2001 (right after it was resprayed).


And a couple years later (shadier day)


Nevermind the interior . This pic was back in 02 . I've sold the car since then but you get the picture. Now I own a stock DA.

No. Earl Scheib is where you go for a car you really don't care about.

 

haha I figured that
Anyone know any good automotive paint shops around me?

 

this is what i did, i bought a dark blue that i liked alot (it was a chrysler color), but then 2 of my good buddies got their cars painted very similar to that color so i went back to the paint store and asked them if they could lighten it up and they jus kept lightening it up to my liking. i like the way the color turned out, and plus no body can say that they have the same color as me. not that that matters.
