    Default good place for paint in gainesville area?

    i live in gainesville by lakeshore mall

    if nobody else can give me some advice i will probably end up at sprayglo...

    want to go from the maroon/black to solid black and i want a good base/clear job... i dont necessarily need like 8 coats of clear or anything, just a sand- primer- base- couple of clears.

    car doesnt need any body work really... maybe straighten the hood a little (looks like a few little dents but only noticeable under hard scrutiny)

    i have about $1000 to spend on it and i want under hood/trunk... and jambs...

    inside of doors are already black so i dont need inside of doors painted.

    anybody know of a good one??

    Budget paint + Normal OEM Factory finish = SprayGlo in Duluth
    If you have money and needs body work done + expensive paint job = SprayGlo in Duluth

    Custom Art and paint for a great price = See Bucky

    My "expensive" paintjob at Sprayglo started coming off in chunks and it was nowhere near factory finish. Sorry... bad experience.

    Now if you're looking for a cheap paintjob to get by, Sprayglo might be your answer.

    I know of someone in dahlonega who has been painting for dealerships and he also paints street rods. PM me if your interested. He wont kill you on price if your bodywork is done and your willing to go over and help prep and tape! He is def. worth it and he can prlly meet your budget but i would give you his number and you can call! I know there are a few guys on here who know him personally like i do and they can more than vouch for his work!
