    So where are you guys getting painted now?

    So now that MW Racing is no longer, where is the current good paint deal? I need the Miata painted and so far have found a place called A-Class Paint and Body in Surrey. I was quoted $1200 for a base/clear with a single pass over prep (blocking once). And no other major body work.

    yes... I have a Miata. no... I'm not gay.

    1200 for a full exterior paint job is a ridiculous good deal. I work at a paintshop and we charge 2500-3000. All depends on how much you want to spend and if there's any damage anywhere that needs to be fixed. Blocking isn't needed unless theres bodywork needed. A good paintjob should atleast 2 coats of base and 2 full wet coats of clear, and usually they'll wetsand the whole car down once more after clear and re-clear over one more time to give you that clean deep depth look. =)

    Hmm...

    Hey joker, I heard about OZ... are they pretty reasonable for $$ for a full paint? They have no email and I don't like calling... lol

    yes... I have a Miata. no... I'm not gay.

    I've heard good things about Autozone. Wherever you end up going, let us know how it went/how much it cost.
