For $1,500 you're not going to get neither the best body shop or paint shop.

But if you most..... I vote you give Sports and Imports a call. They take there time and do there shit right. But! You're going to be spending more then $1,500.

Good paint and labor costs. Sports and Imports isn't going to touch the car for $1500.

What he said. S&I is one of the best shops around. But your going to pay dearly for it.

D&D kustoms maybe in forest park ive seen some nice cars come out of there but your budget for a nice job isnt really realistic unless your taking in a shell ive been quoted that by vinhs body shop for a full jamb and all paint job so you might want to save up a bit more if you want a really good job

Peach painted a friend's Camaro 4 times, still couldn't get a halfway decent paint job on it (runs, peels,a dn bubbles) - then told him that they weren't going to do it right. Basically told him that he was screwed. I wouldn't let them paint a work truck.

Sports & Imports
3371 W Hospital Ave
Chamblee, GA 30341


(770) 986-6146

I'm pretty sure that is the right Sports and Imports. They have three shops in total. The other two are close to my shop.
This is the one that does all the cars that aren't high end cars.


But truth be told, You may be better going to sprayglo for $1,500. But just make sure you give the car a good look over before it leaves the lot. Then again, You should really do that at any body shop and not just sprayglo.

How much bodywork is needed, that's where alot of the $$$ is...

For the "best paint job" like you said you drill out the seam welds and replace the panels & reweld...whether it's a door skin or rear quarter. Then simply replace the front fenders.

If that can't be done then you fill the entire car with a thin layer sanding it back down to find all the low spots...normally done a couple times. The time spend to do that cost as much or more than replacing everything as above.

I call them 25 foot show cars, looks good from 25 feet but just don't open the doors or hood to see the differant colors :tongue:

D&D by far but they'll probably look at you crazy for $1500. Just a picture of what they did for my G and this was done with a crappy camera
