Erik, Lightninggsx can paint. If you have ever seen his eclipse, you would know he can. 90laserrst and his dad can paint also. I think there might be a few others as well.

Oh I forgot to mention that I would like to know what just a normal paint job would cost?

Re: So who paints?

I too am looking to find someone that can paint well. The only place I have found that I have seen good work from is Advanced auto in Duluth. I was quoted between 3 and 5K depending on which paint PPG or HOK and the amount of other work that needs to be done. The hardest part is finding a shop that is willing to take a good amount of time for preping the car. If it's not preped right the paint will look like shit no matter what.

Having school doesnt make you a painter. He was taught sure, but that doesn't mean he has the talent or experience.

Yea we paint cars but we do not create show cars. When I get pics up you will see what kind of jobs we do. I will show you the imperfections and all. He got a full color change for 2500 dollars. ( that wont happen again, major PITA). Body kits are fucking gay and I hope I never see one again. Rust repair is generally not THAT complicated but unless you get rid of the panel as a whole, it will be back someday.

I paint for a living at Raymond, and I also do side work. Actually just looking to start another project maybe.
