Where to go for paint..and how much?
So i just picked up the ITR with the front end damage over the weekend and i am hopeing to get it jdm fronted over the next week or two. I would like to know where people recomend i go for a good body shop that can bring the car back to close to oem conditon. I will be keeping the car champ white and there is a small amount of rust on the rear quarter on one side that i would like all fixed. So where do you guys recomend i go and what do you think i would be looking at in terms of cost?

You're going to get a lot of people voting for Screamin Paintworks. (For good reason - they are very good.)

Ya i have heard good things aboult them...any idea on pricing?

A lot of good body shops out there. But even the best body shops are still going to have a few people who are not satisfied with them.
Maranellos, Contempoary Coachworks, Screaming Paintworks, National Collision etc. All do great work.
I say you go down and talk to each shop directly. Pricing is going to vary between shops and maybe if you pay CASH, even cheaper lol Make sure you are cool with whoever is going to do the paint work, establish some rapport, test their knowledge etc. See if they can sell to you, why you should pick them.
Maybe I'm getting off track here lol

No thanks that is helpful. I will have to do some leg work i know that, just wanted a little input first and some incite on cost. I have seen first hand the work maranellos can do. Guy comes into my work all the time with a Red nsx he had done there. Looks awesome but he said it was around 10g to have it done and i don't have that kinda money to spend on car that was left than half of that cost.

Did you pick up this car from Edmonton?

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

Screamin Paintworks did my front a few years back, was very happy with the end product. The owner (forgot his name) was also great to deal with.
We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us.

Did you end up painting your car?

Seems like he has a history of buying things he cannot afford...
Car is up for sale ATM, kinda funny how the OP didn't budget for the car until he bought it>brought it home>bought an ITR front>Installed ITR front end.
LOL
No wonder the housing market is so flooded with people that can't afford their houses.... Good 'ol impulsive buyers.

I spoke with Dan a couple days ago! So excited to get my parts there and bumper painted. Hit a snowbank and a lot of my plastic underbody parts are damaged including my bumper, and totally not going to stealership. Autobody shop prices are much better.Originally posted by psycoticclown
