Good Paint Shops?

Hey guys my paint is peeling pretty good and is really the only thing that needs to be done to make the car in excellent condition.i was just wondering if anyone knows any good nationwide paint places besides macco.i really want a good paint job for $1000 at the most but i don't really want it peeling in five years either.also if anyone can help me with what exact color my paint is that would be awesome(picture to the left). Im in Olympia,Wa.

Thanks.

I don't know if there is such a thing as a really goood paint job that will last for 5 years without peeling or something happening. I know you may not want to hear this and many are going to tell you the same thing - save another $1500 and get that really good paint job you want. If you are looking for which colors show up a cheaper paint job I would go silver or white. Something light versus red, blue or black. Every mistake can be see the darker you go.

Re: Good Paint Shops?

Just remember this, no matter how desperate you get, DON'T GO TO MAACO i'm still trying to get them to fix what they broke, and still trying to get tools they stole outta my car..

like niterider said, save the extra cash, and get a real good paintjob..
