Default Are there any decent paint shops in ocala?

I'm thinkin about having some paint work done and was just wondering if there are any decent paint shops here. I don't need show quality, but I don't want a maaco job either.

There are a few restoration shops in Ocala. I'll ask at work tomorrow as well to see if anyone rec's a certain shop.

I had my Nova painted in Green Cove. Not show quality but nice for the $ I spent.

I'm probably just going to have the bumpers/hood painted so I'm looking for a good value that won't look like **** after a couple years like my last paint job.

Check out Liles Collision Service. They do great work. I have been happy with them and so have many of my friends.

My friend Shane has a shop about 2 blocks away from Lyles. (street dreams customs) He does good work, and is very resonable price wise. He has my Ls1/truck right now. He is finishing my caddy tail lights, and 2 toning it for me. If you are interested, I will meet you there and introduce you to him. He's a good guy...

Lyles is good too, he keeps pretty busy, and I think Shane picks up some work from him too.

Yup as long as I can access the back of it. I had a half moon crease and some waves in my 1/4 panel I took out... I had to drill a hole in my jam and put a plug in it... But it was torwards the front of the 1/4 panel... If its torwards the back I can work through the trunk... Tough area not alot of leverage. Post a pic if u can.

International Auto Body is known for doing very high end work. Also Steve Dejoy at Dejoy's Auto Body is a great guy that is honest and he does great work.

hmmm... that's strange because I have seen some on their work, and I have to say it's top notch. Did you talk with Bill and give him a chance to make it right with you? Bill will go out of his way to make you a happy customer.
