I'm getting body and paint work done at a place called Honda Specialist in Georgia. He's gonna put on a new front left fender, paint the mirrors, remove all dents, properly install and align my 89 bumper (my car is an 87) and paint all the jams (total color change). Good price?

yeah..if its a totaly custom paint job at a custom shop--(NOT macco)........and theres a lot of body work/rust perair/shaving to be done......

and the paint is like under hood, remove the trim before painting...all that good stuff and the door jams..then its a god deal.

ALSO....have them take car of rust under the car and do a new undercoat for rust prevention

I was planning on telling him to leave the moldings off so I knew for a fact that they painted it all and I'd repaint my own moldings factory black.

I shopped around and (everywhere but Maaco) and Honda Specialist had the best price. I was also but at ease by all the "3geez" on the lot.

One place was gonna charge me $5-10 thousand:flip: What honda oem color do ya'll recommend will go well with alloy mesh integra wheels?
