After browsing through many topics I thought it would be helpful to start a thread on paintjobs.. seems like there are a lot of questions, so if you've gotten your 6gc painted, please contribute

Tell us:

1. Where you got it painted
2. What exactly was painted
3. How much did it cost
4. If you are satisfied or not

Much Thanks in advance

If your looking for a budget paint job, i came across this topic quite recently, very interesting, requires a bit of a read though, get down to 69chargerwoowee's post.

I got mine painted at Massive Autobody, its in north york. I wouldnt suggest them. I paid $2000, they didnt add flex agent into the bumper, they got over spray on my rear window, drivers side rear window, and i have about 10 vissible runs. If you wanna get your car painted for cheap and get them to do a good job. Go to 427 Autobody on Kipling and Evans just off the QEW/427. Super good guys, good prices, amazing work. And if you dont care about $ and you willing to wait. CFD on Martingrove in woodbridge. They are rediculus. Ive seen a EG civic they did for raceworld.ca and they painted the roof with a 3D carbon fiber effect. It actually looks like CF.

I took mine to Earl Schieb and they did a quick exterior job, no jams or bay or anything. It only cost me 400 including a warranty.
For the price i paid, i am very satisfied... if your looking for a show quality job or something like, i wouldnt recommend these guys. But they are very reliable and honest guys. They showed me where they messed up, but i didnt have the time for them to fix it. Good guys.
