So Cal shops

I think I would also recommend Magnolia if you're going for a decent and cheap paint job and a good turnaround time. I would not recommend them for show quality work as quickly though. Our car was expedited, so I am not as good a judge as Larry or TurboLark would be.



To be completely honest, my paint is already falling off in places, there are some bondo cracks, and there was little to no serious prep-work done on the car other than re-skinning the doors, patching holes, and shaving the door handles. There are still bare spots in the trunk by the rear deck, the doors don't line up, and they only color sanded one side of the car completely. They had a huge task though with almost no time to do it, so with more time, I'm sure they could do better. For what they quoted and charged us, I think we got what we paid for. They were also good about not exceeding the budget we set for them, though that may have played a part in the overall quality of the work done.

I have to say though, they were great to deal with and very understanding. Dave even loaned us his shop the day before SEMA so we could do some final assembly. So going with them had its ups and downs.
