Quality Paint Shop in SoCal ?

I am looking to have my '01 repainted. The clear coat is pealing and there are a few chips in the paint, and I want to restore with a complete repaint.

Has anyone had their truck painted in Southern California that can recommend a shop? I live in the Los Angeles area but will travel further for a place that does a great job and uses quality paint.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! -W

 

No one has any info? I figured Southern California would be full of decent shops. Have not come across one yet in my searching. Most body/paint shops I have contacted only want to deal with insurance companies.

Really hoping one of you guys chimes in.

 

Where exactly are you? I can recommend a shop in Santee/El Cajon area.

 

Los Angeles / Culver City

Go ahead and send me their info. Can't hurt to give them a call. Only lead I have thus far.

Thanks!

 

I’ll send it when I get back to San Diego ( in Yuma today).

 

Sounds good. Thanks again!

 

I know of a body shop in North County San Diego. I know they use high quality paints and clears and back their work with lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.

 

Nice, thanks for the reply.

Shop's info?

They do such an amazing job and offer lifetime on their work. They've done a few Tacomas I sent over the years with great work. They're on the pricey side but do amazing work with no corners cut.

Tell him Rad with the Red Tacoma sent you and they'll offer a discount. You want to ask them to fit you in when they're not busy. When they're busy, prices tend to be higher. Ask for the owner Sy or the manager Albert.

 

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I am forming a list with and will be contacting them once I return from my trip at the end of the month.

 

I paid out of pocket at this place more than once to get fixes done and never had a single issue.
