Default Bodywork/paint on the southside?

Anybody at/know a good body/paint shop on the southside somewhere? I'm picking up a winter car but in the end I want some bodywork and some paint thrown on there. I don't want a show class paint job but I don't want a Maaco paint job either. Let me know if anyone is at a shop or knows what's up!!!

I'm not looking to do it right now but I was looking to get the dents and dings worked out as well as some primer and paint on this car. Got a roundabout figure for what paint would cost ... just looking for black.

Yeah man it's pretty rough but nothing some bodywork and paint can't fix. Let me know when you're free to take a look at it and I can swing by you or whatever.

The ceta mod is for trans am cars. There is an area on the back bumper where it says Pontiac pretty much and they paint that area black. I've seen grand price with it also. It looks pretty slick. Just search ceta mod and you'll find pics of it.

^Ahhhhh I Disagree To An Extent.

For a Red Car: If you've got black wheels, red calipers, the pontiac letters in black, the trans am letters on the side in black, and black tints, then the CETA mod in black works/looks very nice. Just doing it with nothing else is not as nice looking

It's the same for other color schemes, but I picked red.

That's not the CETA mod. Search it on the site. You'll find it ...
