painting/wrapping car

So im planning on either painting or wrapping my car in the next few months. Right now my car is AS and im just wondering if you guys have any recommendations for a place that does a solid job for a decent price. Im looking for somehwere between olympia and seattle.

If you guys have any suggestions id appreciate it.


Thanks,
Tim

For painting Bel-Kirk http://www.belkirkbodyshop.com/

For wrapping NW auto salon http://www.northwestautosalon.com/

Both are top shelf and will treat you (and your car) right.

I just had my Evo X wrapped in matte blue at Guardline in Puyallup. They did a good job, and even took time to source film that matched my color request.

Aye. Depending on NWAS' price, guardline does some kick-*** work and is definitely worth looking at

I think wraps are a much better idea. When the time comes, just peel it off. The Vivid Racing Porsche 997TT and Ferrari were both wrapped until recently, and the paint looks great with the wraps off.

I saw the blue X in person while getting my hood wrapped, it was amazing. Guardline is awesome, they do a great job. Down the long road I'll probably get my car wrapped by them.

Yeah it's 2500$ for a full wrap though....

Maybe ill start up a paypal donation account to "help a struggling US Army soldier about to deploy to Afghanistan get his car painted"

Ya know....play that pity card :-)

Whoa, that wrap looks crazy good! I imagined a matte finish would look pretty cool on a car, but seeing it next to other cars really makes it stand out.
