Hey, Contact my boss, Whistler (sponsor) he does some amazing paint jobs, several vehicles he has painted have been in magazines. He can give you a good price depending on the extent of body work and detail you want on the car. Im having him paint my other car soon. There may be a waiting period but it is worth it.

Agreed. Chris as www.CeramicExhaust.com does the best work in Central Florida PERIOD. He has painted two of my cars which turned out PERFECT. he uses only the good stuff.

Haha. Isn't that who painted Chris' Mootang? Mr. Don was all like "they did an awesome job", and I'm thinking to myself that it looks like white crusty dogshit.
