what kind of paint are you looking for??? I'd suggest going for a custom paint by House of Kolors... prolly the best paint you can buy out there for custom jobs, kandies, color shifting, marble, glow in the dark, and awesome metallics... the car I got rid of for my Evo had House of Kolors 3-stage Kandy Apple Red paint on it... it was a gorgeous color... and it made my celica even "look more fast" the shop that did it was ultimate finish in Hazleton PA...

East Coast Creations in Richmond, VA. They're doing my Lancer and they do AMAZING airbrushing, custom paint, tint, body kits, shaved doors, graphics, and ALOT more. I can post pics of their Paint studio. It's HOTT!! dude. They bake the car after wards to like 160 degrees to seal the paint evenly. I dont know too much about these processes but i know what ive seen come out of there so far has been the most beautiful creations i've EVER seen come out of a paint shop. The owners name is Nick Ellet and his cell is (804)-426-5721 If your willing to come out east then i'd say they are the ppl to go to!! Be sure to tell them that I sent you, My name is Rick Pyle. They have been very patient with me through this whole thing an accomidated my every desire. I will post pics of my car when she comes out. PM me if you have any other questions. Peace Out, Rick

Used to be Mario's Motors but they kept the same body shop staff when they switched over. It's on the corner of Hillcroft/Richmond IIRC and they used to paint Mattress Mack's Ferraris and stuff. I've seen cars ranging from F50s to Jaguar XJ220s in the showroom. They offer a discount to my local Ford club and apparently do good work. At least it's somewhere local to check out I guess.

Seems like a lot of the sick, top dog imports with top notch paint jobs come from P. J. Bonafacio's.

When you say your willing to fly, you mean air transport your Evo? Wow.
