Default advice on some shops?.....

Anybody know where some good paint shops are thatlly do the exterior and interior of my (mostly interior) car non-expensive of course im willing to throw down a couple hundred but im not trying to spend a thousand on it? I just wanted to tint my tail lights and paint my dash the waterfall (since i did it and it came out like crap) and i also wanted to have my seats airbrushed with a graphic?

any opinions would be great. . . ..

if you want to do the entire exterior of your car, you wont get a decent paint job at all for just a couple hundred. however, if you want a nice quality paint job that cant be beaten by anyone in this entire area, call FCR Design in weymouth, ask to speak with Tony or Rob and tell them that Salik and Mike sent you - their number is 781-331-0113

they can do exterior paint, interior paint, airbrush, anything that you think of theyll do. plus tony has been doing this for years and he throws his own ideas into the mix which results in a really nice finished product... give em a call and see what they say. youll more than likely have to take your car in for them to look at it too

FCR did all the work on my car, and since then ive sent a lot of scions to them

If you want good work, be prepared to spend more than a couple hundred. If not, then you will get what you pay for...

well it only cost me 300 for my bumper and that thing came out beautiful . The only thing that i really mostly into (which i probably worded the first thing wrong) is im trying to paint my dash and i just wanted to spray paint a graphic on my seat i mean i dont think that would cost A THOUSAND DOLLERS..... i was going to get the hood painted black but changed my mind till after winter.

FCR has an awesome rep, and great service and personalities. My wife just had her window tinting done there. Plus Scion owners work there.

I recently had some paint work done by McNally and Sons Collision and Paint Center in Holbrook,AM... Super service, and came in about 75% lower than 3 other places. Especially if you're paying in CA$H.

the less you pay generally the less quality you get when it comes to autobody and paint work, just keep that in mind. not going to really say it more but go to FCR if you want quality stuff done, theres dozens of satisfied customers many of which are scion owners that can vouch for them. go check em out and say whats up to my car when you go there cuz its there haha
