Default Where to get car painted in Sacramento? (also help me pick a red..)

Anyone know of a good shop that will do a top notch job on my car? I'm pretty much limited to around Sacramento, i dont feel like driving far

Also...does anyone know any sick red colors I should paint my prelude? Right now its milano red (albeit 10 years old =/) but i'm pretty sure I want to go with a different color.

I was thinking Absolutley red, a nice lexus color.



I am looking for a slap-in-the-face type red, very bright. Perhaps a nice metallic...


Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it, thanks =]

check out precision, i think a color change including the door jams is around 1400-1500, but if you get a couple of people with to paint their car the same time also then it would cost only 1000 i heard.

There's a place on Greenback and Beech called Bob's Autobody; they painted the backend of my old Accord when it was hit by a bicycle. It came out really well.

How much does it cost to get a car painted well, I mean the whole car so if I gut the interior I'll see the same color.
