Best place for paint job?

[Initial D.oug]

I'm going to et a paint job for my touring, it's not a mattter of IF but a matter of when. WHEN I do get my paintjob, where's the best place to go in Vancouver? What's the most I can do to keep labor costs down?
I've gone to George's on 2nd? and they quoted me about $5000 for a full luxury paintjob. That's about what I want to pay for it. Where else can I go?

The thing is the car has very dull paint and scratches everywhere and a lot of dings. I want the doorjams and engine bay painted as well.

For the trim, should I take off everything I possibly can? Would it be better to try and remove panels too? And for the engine should I try to remove everything on the sides and cover that so they can paint it or do they have to remove the engine?

Any info, tips, and suggestions will be totally appreciated. Thanks.

PS the paint is Metallic green, I want it to be Jet Black.

Talk to Boris at Korva...

I doubt Boris will do it for $5000. If you do take it to Boris I would make sure he himself will work on it. I've also heard Burrard Autostrausse does ok work.

Off topic but do you have pics of your car :).

korva and burrard autostrasse will both cost more than 5000. if the 5000 paint job comes with a lifetime warranty, id go with it. they will have to repaint it again and again if you find anything wrong with it.
