NJ Paint Shops??

Any one know any good paint shops in NJ.
I know their is Maaco, but of course has heard spotty things.
I know of a place but they want 4300$ for their base line paint job, state of the art shop and everything. I saw a car they painted, they dont even offer the paint job, it is for commercial vehicles, it was really good, but i feel like 4300 is to much.

My plan is Factory Red (Victory red) with black racing stripes.

Any help would be awesome. Plan on getting paint over the summer.

The absolte best body place in NJ is called Lee's Auto Body in woodbridge. Back in the 90's they put my 89 firebird back together for me so many times. Not gonna be cheap, but if you want quality that is the absolute best place to go

Re: NJ Paint Shops??

thats sounds about right for a decent paint job. A good job is not cheap, and a cheap job is not good

It's all in the prep work, that's what takes the time and costs the $. If you do all your own prep work, it can seriously cut the cost of a good spray.

Re: NJ Paint Shops??

I checked a place in lyndhurst when i wanted to get my monte repainted. The guy said he wouldnt touch the car unless it was a basically a frame off job. Looking in the range of $15 to 20,000 to do. This would include all body work And for that price better be new carpeting, and a few gold bars in the glove box for me. I dont know of any place that will do a good job in a fair 2k range. I need one for my monte ( paint and minor work ) and paint for my camaro.. A package deal would be nice.
