Well Im thinking of getting my evo repainted. The paint isnt that bad, other than some rock chips on the hood. Other than that are just normal scratches that come with time. Its a 2003 also.
My evo has the factory black color already, and id like to go black again, maybe a richer black tho. Im in new england. I dont want to get a crappy job just to save some money, but im not about to pay 10,000 on a paintjob.lol
Im not sure where to go tho.

Any suggestions?

 

well there is a place in lowell called Venturas that is in my opinion the BEST around for paint they have put out more custom show cars than anybody else around here. they dont only do custom work tho my friends dad got his 95 integra painted and it looked as if i was off the show room floor. and it wont be 10000 more like 5000 lol

 

5000 still isnt cheap.lol but i know paint jobs arnt cheap

 

MACCO is cheap but i no for a fact it won't look like it was off the show room floor.

 

ehhhh macco is cheap, but crap. So im looking at about 5k pretty much?

 

well i exaggurated a lil bit i think my buddies dad got his whole car done for like 3500 but it looks so good.. if your lookign for the best check them out they do great work and there work last long, there is a nissa with a custom pain and body work they did 5+ years ago and it still shins like crazy

 

I had my hood and front bumper repainted at ventura's and it cost me $600. I've known him for a few years so he cut me a deal but just to give you an idea of his work, he repainted an evo 9 not that long ago and he also installed a voltex wide bodykit I believe and it made the cover of super street. Be prepared to wait a long time though. He takes his time and it took a week for him just to repaint my hood and front bumper.

 

Heres the evo I was talking about: http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea.../photo_12.html all the paint and body work was done by Ventura's

 

uh...wow...nice car.

My one tic with that Evo...he's got all those nice guages and stuff in his interior, all clean and hidden wires...yet he's got his big ugly 1996 radar dector sitting down low on the windshield (not effective there, esp in a low car) with it's big fat cord dangling down over the dash.

My interior may not be as done up nor does it have 14 gauges to monitor everything including the stock market, but at least my radar decector is cleanly mounted. Lol.

Your not the only one. I was thinking the same thing wheb I saw it. I believe he's from MA and I'm pretty sure he went to the last wicked big meet in natick.

 

atx motorsports they do great body work on evos
