Hey, I am looking for a reputable paint shop in the local area. I usually go to the dealership, but the manager I knew quit and now they suck at service.
Back in February (right after he quit) I had scheduled an appointment for them to touch up some of the work they missed on my hood (Hood Paint TSB) and then they cancelled my appointment and said make another one for May/June!
I may have to go back to them depending on how much these touch ups would cost at another shop, since it would be free at the dealer, but it is mainly some buffing.
But also I need to get some new side scoops painted cause mine got stolen last week. :cuss:
The dealership I use is probably the most quality job of any local ford/lincoln dealerships around here from other cars I have seen. They matched the paint perfectly (which is huge), but it is the attention to detail they lack. I have searched for a thread where I read about a local shop that was good, but I can't find it.

Any info please.....

Sea Spray in HollyWood!

They've done a lot fo work for me and they are great people. They do a lot fo custom paint jobs for celebrities and all sorts of shit like that.
Im not sure if you listen to Big 106 but this shop is painting thei '64 Impala that they are going to be raffling off at the Hard Rock Casino. It's Cherry Red with Custom airbrush work of 60-70's musicians. Nedless to say the work they do is amazing.
I'll get you the number if you want to call them up. :beer:

About the price it shoudln't be ridiculously expensive or anything. They're definatly not like "pimp my ride" bullshit. They're a bunch of down to earth guys, give him a call and see whats up.

I got my ride down at Bama's Body Spot in Pompano Beach. Great price, high-show quality work. The car was flawless and undetectable. I wanted a factory repaint, and thats' what I got, you couldn't see the paint on the car, it was really nice. Tell him
Chris with the silver saleen sent you # 954-946-1003.

Thanks Bruce. Chris was cool, had a great price as well and works at a reputable shop, but I had dropped them off the day before at Sea Spray.
