Whose got the hook up?? I know a lowrider guy in murua that quoted me $300(lol) for the whole car, jams and everything, but I'm trying to what my other option are. If you had your car painted there post some pics up..

If you are referring to the guy that painted Don's car, as well as some others (Russ, Alex, etc), I believe he closed shop back in 2006.

Im just looking for anyone. I'll probably just go with my guy, but if anyone knows someone thats really good I'd like to check em out as well. I also wanted to know if the paint is better here or there.

ps how is the camaro coming along?

I heard he got rid of the camaro & upgraded to vette territory.Id like to paint my car too, but no maaco or 1day crap.

Hey Rick,

Dont forget about Earl Scheib Paint and Body.

Tony.

I dont think they are much (if any) better.

I dont know where Murua is but up here $300 wont even cover the cost of the paint.
Best to get it painted outside the LA basin due to the more stringent AQMD rules here.
San Diego area is more lienient

Technically the quality of the paint and clear over there could be better since there are really no regulations or guidelines the shops need to follow, unlike here in CA.

The Camaro is sitting with no motor and trans. I have no time.

Rick, we've got a lot to catch up on...lol... got a 91 Z28, again.

Maybe you could come to this litlle get together.Its today at sonics.Welcome back.

Thats cheap $300 thats almost how much you would spend on paint and materials only

Save up and get one good paint job, the car will look way better, and it should last you a VERY long time if its well maintained. Just my 2 cents

exactly.. I dont mind paying him more for extra quality work he is a family friend.

Well 300 will not even cover materials, unless its Ultra crappy stuff or maybe left over material? A good paint job will cost about 800 bucks in just material. There is no possible way you are getting a good or even okay paint job at that price.

Busy tonight, but I'll probably start going to those meets again once the car is up and going at least. In the meantime I try to make the SC3G meets when possible though, regardless of my 3rd gens state of health lol.

Earl Scheib currently has a $199 special... lol THAT I would not trust. $300 in tijuana goes a long way. That could be 3 months worth of rent for the guy.

My dad said that once he took his car to paint in TJ and that it came out good but he does not have any pics.

On those paint jobs they do zero prep work they just tape and spray Just trying to save you some head ache and have your money go somewhere rather than just be wasted in a few months.

earl scheib is TRASH!! a friend of mine painted his 96 silverado with the "deluxe special" car looked CLEAN shiny real bitchin! ....that night we were kicking in in the drive way and we were both leaning on the fender area i was wearing a white T....when i got off, my back was ALL GREEN!! hahahaha!! he was wearing a colored shirt so you couldnt tell...
we took it back n they re-did it "right" this time but the job looked crappy!! he paid 13hundred the first time i was like IM NOT going there!! LOL!! this is earl sheib on mission and central out in ontario..
