1 day paint in Pamona. They do a pretty good job for the price, it won't be top notch show quality, but there is no orange peel or runs or anything bad.

That's the one. Jeff Mohrfield owns the shop. He was featured on an episode of Overhaulin' and also painted one of Jesse Jame's cars. The guy's a perfectionist. Another good place is Hot Rods & Hobbies in Signal Hills, but it's even more expensive than Foreign Auto Body (which ain't cheap).

I've actually heard this place isn't too bad.

I had some minor body damage repaired and some body lines shaved off, and the car painted black with about 15% red pearl in it, and he charged me $8300.

Maybe you should check out 1 Day Paint. It's just a name-- they actually take about a week, and I've heard they're not bad.

Yeah and real good pricing too, my friend just got his race car painted there, just normal white nothing fancy. Don't remember how much but I know it was well under $2k. Like I said not show quality top notch stuff, but good enough for a normal car, no real blemishes or anything.
