the body really isnt dented or anything it just needs alot of sanding becasue it has been painted many times before i got it. but it does need more then a scuff and shoot. ill get with you after the holidays i really would like a good paint job on it so hopefully we can work somtiggn out

Port Richey-
Car Classics
727-845-8050
My grade:A
Notes-be prepared to be patient, but the work will be worth it. Tim the body guy there does incredible work. This shop can be a bit pricey. Tell them that you are friends with Scott with the gray and orange civic (me) and mark will work with you on pricing. I have had several cars painted there (color changes and everything)
Brand's Customs
My grade:F
Notes-Rude and does half jobs. Takes on more work than he can handle and I believe he is a bit nuts. Nice airbrush work, but would never recommend them. Unless I hate you.
Xtreme paint and body
727-815-8058
my grade:B
notes-Barry is a nice guy and will work with you on pricing. My complaints with this shop are really just mis-communications and taking a lot more time than promised on jobs.
Clearwater-
All stars auto body
my grade:
notes-slow slow slow. Be prepared to deal with this families personal issues including fights in the office. Paint flaked off. How is this place recommended by insurance companies?
