Default Looking for a quality San Diego paint shop...

Hey Guys and Gals,

I have a new set of 968 mirrors/handles and a couple of other items off the car that I'm looking for a GOOD paint shop to shoot......someone down along southcoast would be excellent.

The pass fender on my NA underwent 3 shoots in the course of 13 weeks at a local "Porsche" shop, never again.

Thanks Everyone for the assistance

BTW, looking forward to next weeks Fun Run!!

Sorry All,

I think only one post will suffice.

Why not go across the border? I may do that with mine when the time comes - the prices are a fraction of what they are here, the Mexicans actually place value on doing labor by hand and from what I've been reading, the quality of craftsmanship is excellent. Not to mention they can spray paint mixes there that are better than those available in the U.S. because of less stringent controls.

Where have your read the craftmanship info? I need to do some stuff and I'm in San Diego, so I'm close.

Jeff,

Thanks for the suggestion but I would buy a can of color matched PaintScratch, delivered to my door, before I would "pound the pavement" in TJ.
