Getting a 2002 Rsx painted. I was wondering what place I could trust with painting it though.

I live in the NorthWest (Seattle, WA)

Alot of people are telling me to go to Maaco but I hear they do TERRIBLE jobs with painting, because they find quantity more efficient than quality. Several of my friends have gotten Maaco jobs, and 2/5 of them had no problem with it.

Are there any suggestions to which automotive painting companies in the NorthWest I should go to?

I am also debating on which color to paint it:
NightHawk Black or Championship White ?

Help and suggestions would be extremely appreciated. Thanks ^^

 

Any well known collision center will do a good job!! Most people around me go to collision centers because it is a lil cheaper than going to someone that has a privately owned shop. I recently got a quote to have my car painted and it was 2-3k. Hope u got deep pockets bro cuz u will pay more than that if u want high quality paint/job!!!

 

Maaco is wack dude. My roommate just got a paint job there and it was soo bad we re did it ourselves lol. Didn't even want to take it back to have them fix it :thimbdown: I agree with dude ^^ go to a more well known shop, you can also check out the BBB book and see some local shops that are in there.

 

+1 vote for Champ White. Can't recommend any paint shops though, but I'd avoid Maaco like the plague.

Are you just getting a respray, or entire car (door jams, under hood, interior, etc)?

 

I plan on getting under hood, door jams, and such. And yeah, I've sort of been looking more into the Champ White direction.

 

my paint job was 1 grand flat for the entire car, but that was here in south flo. inside doors and stuff was 300 more or so. 2-3k job sound like a ****ing art master piece, but yeah it very well known that macco sucks donkey ***. and one more on championship white, that color is just awesome

 

Maaco only sucks if you go cheap and let them do the prep work. If you prep the car yourself their paint job isn't all that bad. It's prep work they cheap out on.

I would do White. Or me personally would love BOM :drool:

 

i've owned 1 black car and will never own another one.

 

Maaco loves the overspray. It's a lot of work if you plan on doing the engine area, so it would make sense that places would charge much more for that type of work.

 

2-3k is just ok. I also gotba quote from my mothers work, she works at an upsale car dealership. I.e. Benz,bmw, audi and porshe. They wanted 5-6k to paint my car!!
