[chacha]

i want to repaint my whole car and have them use a sand blaster media to get rid of paint and then repaint....anyone in california have dealt with paint shops they would recommend because of good and honest work?

i don't trust maaco....but it is the one with a nice package, but what i heard and have seen is, they just repaint over the existing paint. anyone in the central cali...fresno perhaps have had their celi repainted with good work.....if so, would you PLEASE post your pic of the celi with its new paint on this forum also stating your price of the paint too.

why are you worried about painting over your old paint? there isnt really any need for you to strip your car down to metal is there?

only reasons are if you have rust/peeling paint, or severe body damage.
id say your best bet is actually taking your car apart, and doing all the prep work yourself. sand down everything. and let them spray it. just stick to the basics, take bumpers off, headlights out, and handles. if maaco doesnt take much care in masking things off, it can peel quickly.
