Need Costum Paint in Los Angeles

[Marv]

So, I've had my fit now for about 2 years. Recently, a sh!tbag in an SUV backed into it and ran after denting the front left fender. Then I discovered FitFreak.net, and weighed the cost of fixing the one fender and gettting a body kit... body kit's the way to go and now I'm about to get my baby fixed up right.

I've bought the FitTuner Mugen Style Wide Body kit for my 2007 Fit, I have 17" matte black Tenzo Mach 10 rims waiting to be installed, and looking into possible exhaust systems. I live in an apartment complex, and can't really do any of the work here. I'm borrowing a friend's garage to do the work, but we don't have any paint equipment, nor is that something either of us feel confident doing.

Anyone living in Los Angeles, know a good custom paint shop around here? I've already checked with Earl Scheib and Macco, and they won't do the racing stripe I want - like the 2006 Sema Show Extreme Concept Fit.

Thanks!

Yeah... funny. Is that it? Just laugh at a request for help? Nice. I appreciate it. If I wanted to be made fun of or laughed at when I ask about custom paint, I would've stuck to calling paint shops. Thanks for nothing.

Joking around and kidding around aside... what exactly was funny about what I had said?

Well.... if ur really looking for a GOOD painter that does body kits and does them right the first time, send a message to Richard. He does THE BEST work, just check out his blogs!! He also did toyotalover's bumpers and did top notch work on that. Oh and he's SUPER afforadable compared to many of the shops out there.

IF u want racing stripes, i don't recommend getting them painted, but just go to Car stickers and decals, racing stripe graphic sticker decal for you car or truck and order some vinyl graphic stripes. But to be honest, stripes are outplayed and don't look good on the car. Just get the body kit painted and u'll b good 2 go.
