I am looking to paint my 1990 GT Convertible and I have no clue where to bring it. Does anybody know any good shops in the area? Please let me know. Thanks.

Where in boston do you live?

Custom Bodyworks and Factory Collision in Weymouth could do it properly and have it look showroom quality, but you would have to pay a few grand for it.

How much are you looking to spend? If you want it done right you need the whole car taken apart and sanded to at least factory primer before its painted. A paint job like that costs anywhere from $4000-$6000. If you aren't ready to drop 5 g's then save your money and wait to get it painted.

Maaco can't paint cars well no matter what the fools that go there will tell you.

Notchstang is right. I painted mine the same color and it still set me back $5k. This included door jambs, engine bay, etc.

Notchstang AND lxfiveo are both right! I too, spent $5K on mine. That was a strip it to bare metal and start from scratch job. It also included the engine compartment and all jambs/backs of doors & hatch. As for a good place to get it done, Spark Street Auto Body in Brockton is excellent.
