Default $1500 paint job in Los Angeles?

Where is this possible? I have a 2006 Boxster S, so it doesn't need to be perfect.

That's a very low budget. Why does it need to be painted? If the paint and clear coat are good, take that money and have the car professionally detailed, including full paint correction and a quality nano coating like CQuartz or OptiCoat Pro.

Agreed, a $1500 paint job is not gonna be pretty.

I can't imagine what a $1500 paint job would even look like.

I have used Perez Body Shop in Maywood. Not the greatest area, but their work is good and prices are fair.

I took our Mercedes GL-450 there for repair when I backed into our garage door.

Ask for Lalo. Tell him "Cuba" sent you. He is a very nice man.

I also have had good luck with Maaco in Rancho Cucamonga.....

I had my boxster hardtop color matched and painted for $250. Great quality. It was a crappy place down a dirt road in San Marcos ca. Felt pretty good taking it there because most of this shops customers are... dealers. I understand if you have a restored classic, but for many applications it's just paint.
