Texas Chop Shop did really impressive work on my boss' Firehawk after it was wrecked and another buddy's Mustang when he got a cowl hood. They're right off of 290 and Fairbanks.

Dude- you need to see my black 02 Firehawk that Maaco painted- much better than factory. Maybe not the norm but it came out great. I'll post a link later

Johnny Bang and Bump up in Tomball does good work, they quoted me $3500 to repaint my car White, eventually i'll get it done there.

Can get it done where I work for around $1000-$1200 with basecoat/clear coat depending on if it needs bodywork.


How much does Richey's charge for a repaint?


Here's mine with the cheaper single stage paint.

Penguin - did you wet sand and buff that single stage or did it lay that clean?

My 70 GTO is in line to get sprayed tomorrow- can't wait to see it with some color.

A friend of mine has my outlaw drag radial car right now and when he finishes that he will get my 69 Camaro. Really depends on how much you want to spend. You can go take a look at it if you want. He is over off Long Point and Blalock.

It layed down well but of course I still had it buffed. If it's my car or a friends car the painter will take a little more time on it.

Like Prostreet said it's all how much you are looking to spend but be reasonable, some of those shops get pretty wild when it comes to pricing.

Agreed- you need to take it to someone you feel comfortable with. You can take paint as far as you want.

I was quoted 1200 by a popular shop in Humble to just repaint it the same pewter color. Thats about all I wanted to spend really... just get it back to looking almost new. I would assume that would be to sand off the clear coat and get into the paint a few layers and then wet sand it, repaint it and then clearcoat it. I am not a painter so I really do not know a thing about it. Is that the normal thing to do???? I do not think I need a 3500 dollar paint job just to keep it the same color.

What's the shop? I live near there and didn't know there were any body shops in the area that did good work.

Its is a friend of mine who has a shop that he does on the side, no name really. Has a nice paint booth and expecting a rotisseri soon. Just does it on the side for enjoyment, but does great work. I was up there today to check on it and it looks great. It will be painted on Weds or Thurs. It is in a warehouse section off of Long Point and Pech

That's about what I paid which I think is a great deal for a respectable paint job.

Pewter will hide a lot too so you should be good.

Hell- the materials would almost cost an individual with no connections that much.

Yeah, make sure they actually sand the cars and not scuff it with a red pad, I couldn't imagine a shop doing that anymore though.

Sand, seal, base, clear, wet sand, buff, wash and wax. $1,200 sounds good but make sure it's for basecoat/clearcoat. Single stage looks great on red, black, white etc but silver, pewter, light blue etc. isn't a color you can cheap out on.
