Need body/paint shop in san jose area

[FordFan]

​

I’m looking to get the body and paint work going on my ‘72 project. I’m in the South Bay area. Do any of you guys have a recommendation for me?

It’s a daily driver, so nothing super high end. Just good quality to last, and maybe wet sand and clear to take it a step up from orange peel. As always, an honest straight shooting shop is the best.

i haven’t had a car painted in decades, so I have no idea what range I’m looking at. It was dipped, so doesn’t require stripping, and is very straight. Minimal body work, and I’ll do the rust repair on unseen bits.

Thank you!

I would contact a local Mustang Club in your area for advice. This club https://www.goldenhillsmustangclub.com/ has helpful info on its site. Good luck.

No he was fired by all of them, that's how he knows they're good.

Nope. These come recommended from other sources, and their respective reviews.

This would be true if it were true.
