Bay Area Paint Shop????

I received a private message asking for more details so I figured it'd share with the group.

frume's auto body off Stockton in San Jose. When I dropped the car off he said he wanted to get my car done in about 4 weeks which I knew was impossible. my car was buried under 4 different coats of paint and has fiberglass flares and a molded rear spoiler that were covered under layers of body filler. they've done a ton of work, took the car down to bare metal, lined up all the gaps, fixed the flares and spoiler with fiberglass, i also have a fiberglass lower front valence, welded up the door and trunk locks and hole where the antennae used to be and emblem holes, also one of the fenders needed some welding where it attached to the body behind the front wheel, and should finally be painting it today or tomorrow. it's been there for about 3.5 months.



he said he was priming the car in the best primer available and he's not actually supposed to use it due to government regulations but it's far superior than what's allowed. I'm painting it Daytona peal grey which is an oem audi r8 color. also laying down black racing stripes.

he's charging me $5,500 but considering all the work they have put in, I think that's a steal. I would normally be suspect of the shop and low costs but my neighbor has known the owner for years and he's painted two camaro's for him. I've seen the paint on one of the cars years after it was painted and it looks pristine.

I'll post up a few pics when it gets a coat of paint.
