Paint shops in Orange County ???

01SVTCobra · 10-15-2002, 07:00 PM

I scratched my paint on my cobra and need a reputable shop to touch it up. There is no dent and it didn't go down to the metal, but I want it fixed right.
Any suggestions ?

If it didn't go down to the paint, you could just get it color sanded. I had some fairly deep scratches on my car and they came out that way on a detail I got. Can't even tell they were ever there.

The guy holds up shop on the roof of my parking garage in Irvine. If you're interested I'll ask him if he knows any shops around you. But if you're heck bent on getting it painted, I can call some hot rodding buddies for a paint shop recomendation.

Any info you can get would be helpful. I live in Costa Mesa, so anyone in South Orange County would be great.
It did scratch through the paint, but not all the way down to the metal. It's really not that big of a deal, I guess I'm just a little particular about how my car looks.
Thanks

Do you know where Tower 17 is? Its on the corner of Von Karmen and Martin, one block twoards the freeway from Campus. The four story parking garage there is where I had my car done. Cruise by there and ask the guy to take a look at it. He will be straight with you about how various things will come out, even if you decide not to go with him. Only thing is he works 8-5 mon-fri, so I don't know if you'll be able to stop by.

I'll see what I can find out about body shops.

Cool, thanks.
I get off work at 3, so it shouldn't be a problem to go by there.
May not be able to this week, but next looks good.
