Hi. Has anyone been to 20-20 auto body in City of Industry, CA? I was thinking of getting a paint job for the 240, choices are OEM 97 aspen glow white pearl, or the ferrari's white (pearl or metallic? for the oem color, dunno) but yeah. if anyone has suggestions for a paint shop let me know. thanks.

Brian · 12-13-2006, 09:11 PM

I am pretty sure they painted some of the Falken cars...

akito · 12-13-2006, 09:41 PM

im looking to spend 2-3g's. want it perfekt. if i plan on keeping the car for years to come =p

dimsumsil80 · 12-13-2006, 10:00 PM

i heard that mob works does a pretty good job too. they located in orange, ca. i dont kno about the prices but i heard they can cost you a pretty penny.

mr_240sx · 12-13-2006, 10:02 PM

now dont forget..... you get what you pay for!

akito · 12-13-2006, 10:08 PM

if i can get a much better paint job than 1 day paint for 1000. which i already have done. and make sure my car gets sanded completely before its painted and last me a few years then ill be happy. this 1 day paint job only lasted me 1.5 years. crack and peeling left and right. but time for the kouki conversion and therefore new paintjob. if anyone else has recommendations. let me know. thanks.

20/20 does awesome work. My friend got his integra painted there back in the day and it was amazing.

180sExy · 12-13-2006, 10:45 PM

LOLZ wow 20/20 an Mob Werks are like high end body shops. I talked to Mob about repainting my 1990 nissan 240 hatch an the person quoted me an outrageous price!!! If I remember correctly it was around the area of 5g’s, and the job wouldn’t have a warranty because my car is already 350z blue an the roof is black they wont know how their paint is going to react with my old paint, thats why the paint job would not be covered. They also told be because the roof is black and I wanted too keep it that way it would be more cuz they have too prep 2 areas. So I asked him about stripping all the paint an taking the car to the metal an taking it from there, the answer 10g’s and up. I almost dropped the phone! An I herd that 20/20 was just as pricey but not as bad.

2-3g's i dont think that your gonna get a perfect paint job for that price at a shop. But I live in Mo Val and I have a friend who paints cars, he did mine. PM me if you are intrested he does good work.

A Spec Products · 12-13-2006, 11:09 PM

Money does not necessarily equate good paint job. It helps though.

Try to find someone with a connection, at least that way the painter has more of a reason to do a good job on it.

180sExy · 12-13-2006, 11:13 PM

yeah money does not necessarily mean a good job.....but he's talking about 20/20 and Mob werks. So he's gonna pay for the paint job an the name behinde the paint job.

inertiadrft · 12-14-2006, 05:00 AM

20/20 they do very good work, but yea! get ready to pay some good cash,
not only that, you have to take a number, usually there is a big wait to get a paint job at 20/20 or mobwekz....dedpending on what time of the year I guess

axiomatik · 12-14-2006, 11:59 AM

Yeah, I've been there. Oh wait, no, I haven't, because this isn't a California forum.

Regional Forum <- Use it!!

koukikat180sx · 12-14-2006, 12:10 PM

umm... m1 does some pretty good work. i dont think they're as expensive as 20/20 or mob. they paint a lot of the team hybrid show cars.

I couldn't agree more.
In fact, I will probably be getting my car done at Majestic on East Bessemer Ave. in Greensboro, NC. They did a really good job with my buddy David's car earlier this year.
While I am at it, I will move this thread to the FUCKING REGIONAL SECTION.

I had an almost identical conversation with MOB. not cool.

usdm180sx · 12-15-2006, 08:10 AM

autoexplosion in Gardena said that they would remove all dings and minor dents and paint my car the same color for $2k and I have a metallic color. They also paint UNDER the window moldings for a true oem look.

cxlo8331 · 12-26-2006, 11:01 AM

I agree, Mob Works and 20/20 are super expensive. I got quotes from both of them to paint front bumper, lip, side skirts, and rear valances for 2-3k. WTF? If you got the money and want the name, go for it. I ended up going to PJ BONIFACIO's in City of Industry. Did a great job for a good price. Plus he's got a reputable name in the industry. He does alot of show cars. He quoted me about 3k to repaint entire car 3 stage pearl white.
