NEED QUALITY PAINT SHOP IN SAN DIEGO

Hey folks... thinking about getting a paint job similar to the Dale Earnhardt edition... with Carbon Flash on top and bottom and I'd keep my IOM in the center....

Need help with recommendations for a paint shop in the San Diego area... I need an email, facebook or website contact ... I can't call ...... I'm in Africa.

Here is a digital rendering of what I'm looking to do:

no thanks...

Sinful did my body work... and did a FANTASTIC job...
His paint work on my car was average. He matched the color perfect but there was overspray on the parts that were not painted.... that is the main reason I'm getting the top of the car painted... to cover up the overspray and also because my stripes were damaged by his guys that detail the cars after he finishes with them... there were also some other areas that had a mess due to what I assume was wet sanding that had not been cleaned up.... (btw- he made it right on the stripes... gave me a refund amount equal to replacement of the vinyl stripes).
but.... GREAT body work...

I'm not trashing him... as I mentioned... he did awesome body work at an amazingly fair price .... I just think there may be better paint shops out there for me.

I have Sin doing some body work and paint for me...he did take his time to color match my IBM perfectly...there are 5 shades and we looked at each of them and settled on one shade with the metallic flakes from another. I thought that was great attention to detail. Ill have to keep an eye out for an overspray.

Perhaps Chapparone Autobody in Kearny Mesa. They've got a shit ton of great reviews on yelp. Went to college with their cousin. Here are two links:

No doubt Sin has done some great work... I guess it just falls under the "you can't win them all" category and I was the "loss" as far as the paint goes.

I've got a quote from Custom Auto Body and just sent a request for a quote from Chapparone.

Thanks-
eric

Sorry to hear about your paint issues. I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if that was my car. He must have a newer paint guy then when I used him in the past.

Good luck!
