    Paint Shop in San Gab / IE

    Thinking of a complete paint job for my S4. The clear on the roof is coming off. Thus I thought of a complete paint job. Does anyone know of a quality paint shop they actually have experience with? And the price point.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    I've been considering this myself. In the past I had a Civic hatch painted at Maaco and I was impressed with the results. Too bad the car was stolen 2 months after getting out of the shop.

    I would rather see this $500 paint job on my S4 than the paint chips and poor respray done on the rear right

    See nobody is disagreeing with Maaco. Haha jk. I know the Audi paint is super high quality and expensive. What's your budget? I think Maaco has different levels from $200 up to over $1000. I was surprised how well a $500 paint job turned out. Sorry nobody else is offering up suggestions. Is it something that a paint correction could help with?

    Actually all it needs is a new clear coat on the roof and hatch. But I thought since I'm at it, why not paint the whole thing . I called Sterling in Tustin yesterday, as they paited the front hood due to the HOT heat from the V8. They mentioned that a paint job "starts" at $15 K. At that price, I might as well pay a little more a get a new S4.

    Keep any references coming. Thanks

    C&C Collision in Alhambra if you want some of the best work I've seen...They do top of the line work and also charge top of the line prices but you probably can't get much better.

    Thanks for the lead. Heck, I grew up in Alhambra, it must be off Valley or Mission.

    Marco's....I was thinking of Marco.

    Especially since we went to Alhambra together.

    Update, I know Marco's shop does wonderful work. But considering that my ride is 12 years old..I'm not looking in spending basic price point of 15k for a paint job.

    I will keep on looking.

    Guys, thanks for all your suggestions. I reached out to one of my Porsche friends and he's hooked me up with one of his friends. Yaa, my dd S/4 is going to look normal again.
