damn neva mind dont got that kinda dough just layin around!! LOL

It all depends on what is it you want to do. I have seen some jobs for 2,000.00 that look great and some people have paid over 10,000.00

Any recommended shops in/around San Diego?

^ I had Marquez Auto Body in Chula Vista repaint my rear bumper and paint my JP Vizage grille, did a really awsome job and the color match is spot on. They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for. It's a family owned business and they have been around since the 60's, they wont bull____ you around and will do the job right.

Forgot to add that both items were painted within 24 hours, I had a tight schedule and Denise was able to hook me up.

Stay away from the Toyota dealership off of Mission Gorge Rd, they have a collision repair center on site and I had them replace my bumper cover and repaint one of the lower skirts after I got rear ended. The color match was off and one year later(warranty expired) the paint started to chip on the bumper and was actually peeling on the lower skirt. I got a new prepainted skirt from trdsparks since it was cheaper than a repaint and had Marquez respray the bumper.

Does anyone know where I can find a shop that can place rivets on my car? Like, rivets that you see on high powered cars/race cars that add strength to metal/frame?

NO, im not making my car into a race car. I need them for other reasons.

Aren't those the same rivets that you can get at any hardware store? If not, try Mission Motorsports in Irvine.

Any one recommend a good paint/body repair shop around 626 area for dings or anything of that sort?

I parked my car at school one day and came back to a door ding from someone who opened their door and hit mine. Its about the size of a quarter and the paint chipped off :(

NO, im not making my car into a race car. I need them for other reasons. When auto explosion installed my aero kits they used 3m tape on the inside and also used rivets every few inches along the entire kit for strength and rigidity. The shops I've been to in the past wouldn't do this for me, they always took a drill and just drilled in a few screws at the end..... The rivets are all hidden secretly but I'm sure if you wanted this more for show purposes you could speak to them about it...... big ++++ for Auto Explosion in Gardena.

Wow some big guns here and it looks like some great shops. Some close enough to drive to but not leave my car with unfortunately.

One thing I did not see addressed (correct me if I am wrong) is if these shops do well with Polyurethane. I need a kit painted. Both front and rear are Poly. I jsut don't want to take it to any shop :)

However I am sure most of these great shops I see listed will have plenty of exp. with what I need done.

James, take it to the Custom Shop in Canoga Park. He painted my Kaminari kit (poly) plenty of times with no issues. He does great work just took 2 awards for his paint work in one of the biggest hot rod shows (he's an old school guy that's been working with hot rods since the 70s).

Thanks Tina I will call them Tues. before I run out of $$ again :)

PM me or text me & let me know before you call him so I can call him & tell him to give you the "homie discount", lol. His name's Mark.

He has a garage so your car won't be sitting outside if you decide to leave your car with him. :)

I will PM you in the morning. Thanks again.

I've never had him repaint my whole car & James only got a lip kit painted. Call him & tell him you're a friend of Tina's & want to repaint your car. Chances are he's going to tell you to bring it in though. He's a good guy, & very reasonable, trust me.

So i have a Kaminari kit too but painted with House of Kolor Gold Flint. I want it redone on the whole body. PLus i have the rear bumper molded on the body and i want to same done with the side skirts. I also cracked my front bumper again, need that repaired too. Anyone got any idea where to do that work, or place? Thanks

Quite a drive but Auto Explosion in Gardena, CA just repainted my tC. Esteban does great work & he stands by it.

So we he be able to handle my project? And pretty what i want to do?

Esteban can make anything happen, trust me. :)

He fixed my catastrophic body work.

lol ok I believe you. Uhmm is he fair in pricing? How much did the paint job cost you on your tc with the kaminari kit?

trust me Esteban can easily handle any project involving a Kaminari kit..... he's done much more intense builds.... I'd say a good majority of the top cars out right now come from Auto Explosion.... why else would it be aka WideBody City!

Well do you guys got a number i can call and set up an appointment. I i think the car will turn out great.

Here's a link to his work, the majority isn't our style but the quality of the work is amazing.

Tell him Tina with the white tC sent you over there.

As for pricing, he's incredibly fair, but I know I got a good deal from him cuz I went to the shop with Chris Rado, & Esteban does a lot of the work on his race cars.

Sweet deal i'll hit him up next weekend. I am waiting for my car to shipped down here from chicago. I'll tell him you sent me. Thanks a ton. You saved me a ton of searching.

never go to Earl Scheibe

everyone has been recommending shops left & right. how about giving some feedback on pricing for these shops and first hand experience on how much it cost you to get your job done.

i also have a five axis front lip that i need painted super white (nothing show worthy.) I want to know what shops out there have a good price (and how much) in the 909/951/626 area...

anyone recommend a cheap paint job just something to get by with i have a few older cars and want to just repaint.. i know theres alot of cheap ones but dunno which ones actually do a good job.. also trying to decide if i should paint my tc or not.. dunno $$$

can someone please give actual quotes for cheap paint jobs. I hit up ross (obviously everyone in ScionEvolution supports him) and he quoted me $125 for painting the five axis front lip a stock white. does anybody have any other shops that can beat that price on just a front lip painted super white? :confused:

Hey dude 125 is actually a good price. M1 autobody charged me 175 for my front lip. Did you call the other references I gave you? In my personal opinion ave price 150 depending on shop. Don't worry Ross as a Scion owner will take care of your stuff. Should you find any flaws if there is any, just let him know. Oh and Ross has done my last kit twice and wing once. From passed experiences coming from me the cheapest doesn't mean the greatest either. Just some food for thought. Good luck in the search for that ice cream paint job bruh.

Ross has done my kit and lip, He does a Great job for the right price. He's getting ready to do my front and rear lip for me again, i seem to be hitting everything in the road that people drop on moving day lately!

For good Quality work and fair pricing he's my go to guy.......

good luck !

125 is actually super cheap im sure that price also included install of said lip........ its not actually just se members kirby is a squad and chef is fuscion..... but i mean hell if you dont want anything show quality and wanna save a few bucks give me 50 bucks and ill spray it with some rattlecans in white and even clear coat it for you rofl ... ____ will look hard... but i mean thats just since you dont care if its show quality

All that Ross gave you was quote and nothing more from what I can recall. did you physically go to his shop to show him the piece that needed work? It could have been cheaper or more expensive, but all it was is just that a quote. There's no need to jab his shop like that. You already got your lip painted and you are more than satisfied, but there's no need to plug the shop anymore where you got your paint done. Pretty soon I'm gonna charge you a sponsor fee if I see anymore plugs. LMAO.

BUT it took you 6 months to find a shop to paint 1 lip? daymn!

Newb... this guy asked me for a quote to paint a FIVE AXIS front lip... which is poly urethane.... the rs1 lip is ABS plastic... a totally different material.... that's good that you found a shop that painted your lip cheap... good for you...sometimes my time frame takes a long time, but customers are always happy....

alright that's enough man. Its done in all aspects already.

Ross and Midnight Garage has always been on the up and up with me..he's worked on all my cars..the Supra, xB, Mercedes, Nissan 180sx and the NSX..always been happy with his work and always he give you a fair deal and goes the extra mile to make sure ur happy with his work.

Eamon was an ex-employee there and didn't see eye to eye with Ross..might be why his opinion of the place is kinda twisted !..so never assume because...well you guys know the rest of the quote...

if you need a shop in the OC area I recently found La Habra Collision Center who were very willing to negotiate on pricing w/ me to win the bid, pretty much beat out any offer I had any where else, and that included those ghetto places but for a collision center type work.

I just sold the xB but just tell him the pink and white 08 xB and he'll remember I'm sure and make sure you tell him you post on scion life. I brought his workers 2 costco pizza's and they hooked me up!!! even detailed my car.... I highly recommend

PS. make sure they use the rear entrance to the shop, the front has a very steep driveway.

Hey guys so I have some key marks on my rear bumper cover I need to get rid off, Im in the OC. Any one have any experiences of this and how much roughly?

anyone know a place in the glendale/valley area where they paint a piece for around $50? I know 2 places so far, but seeing if there are any other places.

Has anybody repainted there car to factory color? If so how much did they charge?

Looking for a place around the 951 area, anybody know of any? Any help would be appreciated.

these guys are awesome. it's not a body shop but they actually "make" paint for you. I asked for 040 and they made it right away. Price is pretty reasonable as well. Good place to go to if you're planning to DIY

you could order spray can paint or just a size for spray guns.
A spray can with the color you want is about $20. They sell all different kinds of paint. :)

has anyone had their stock front lip of a 1st gen xB repainted and how much does it normally run?

Here's a shop that I took my lip kit and they did an awesome job.
If you see a lambo being painted, then 100% relieable :D

I really like Carsmetics on Main Street in Irvine.

Remember any damage over $500 that you claim of your Insurance will be notified to the CA DMV who in turn notify Carfax.com

This will knock $1000's off the value of your Car when you come to trade it in at a Dealer or sell it privately. So try not to claim on your Policy if you can afford not to..
