    Question

    Any other advice in this area? I also need a paint job really bad! I am on a fairly tight budget for this though. This is a daily driver and now that my job requires me to be in the car alot I have to get rid of the primer look and go more professional hehe. We were thinking of going with a basic black to keep it simple and hopefully more affordable : ) Thanks for any help!

    Karma,
    Just so you know, black is one of the hardest colors to paint. Any and every imperfection will show. If the body work is not good, the shop bill will not be cheap.

    I agree with Nucworker, black is the toughest color to make perfect, also it is a absolute bitch to keep clean.

    Opinions are like ass, well you know what comes next.
    Anyway, I can highly recommend only one painter and I would greatly appreciate it if you would tell Ron that Joe Tokoph referred you. Ron at STARR Collision and Restoration at 3131 N. 31st Avenue hes about a block and a half north of Thomas on 31st avenue, hes right across the street from UPS warehouse. 602.672.9830

    So far hes painted my front custom chin spoiler, my side window scoops, and my custom rear ducktail spoiler from CDC and installed it all which required drilling a lot, total cost 400 bucks!! Looks absolutely factory to the car and is as smooth as glass. He also painted Andy Sievers Roush convertible which is a tough color and it matches perfectly, he did the front spoiler and the rear spoiler for Andy and Andy is thrilled. Ron is also currently painting John Valencias yellow Mustang doing 2 new custom front fenders and the hood, we will see tomorrow what that looks like when we pick it up but I have no doubt it will look perfect. Ron is very old school, and is a massive car enthusiast although hes a big Mopar freak.

    I'm tooting this guys horn because hes also going to paint supersnake stripes on my GT for the same price it costs to have the tape decals installed!! So because of the fairness from Ron on his prices I try to help in every way to send people to him. I have ZERO to do with this guys shop beyond the fact that I was looking for a good deal and quality work when I started customizing my GT.
    I was quoted double the price elsewhere. Ron's not looking to get rich he just wants to pay the bills. Very nice guy. Id recommend him to any of you car guys that might read this, when you go to his shop and see some of his work he will be painting for you too!!

    For the record I'm one picky SOB when it comes to my cars, almost insanely. HUH Dennis!!

    Wow great info! That's a bummer about black.... There is other reasons it's going to be black so that's not very flexible. But good to know it really needs an expert touch. I have never had a car painted before so this is kind of a big scary deal lol. Great info joeT! That is exactly what I'm looking for! I love to do business with good people! I will give him a call and see if I can afford him! I will definately let him know you referred and said great things about him and his work!
