Paintshop in Las Vegas NV?

Don't know if this is in the right forum, mods feel free to move it.



My 9C1 Caprice is in 'Vegas for a drivetrain/personality transplant. While it looks *awfully* good for a 113K mile cop car, it really does need a paintjob. This would be a perfect time to have it done, and I can't find anybody local to me who does good-enough-for-me work anyhow.



Any top-end painters in the Las Vegas area? I'm not looking for cheap; I'm looking for *GOOD*. This would be a simple job for the right shop, not even talking color change, and the car is in very nice shape (no rust, etc.). But I *am* talking: car apart, glass out, nosed and decked, and most importantly- "show quality". If the shop could handle it I'd even consider doing a frame-off and having the frame and bottom side done right.



Any recommendations? Fair warning: I'm gonna fly out there and check the work before I pay and I won't fail to notice anything.
 
Accumulator,



May be the car museums in Vegas can help out selecting a good local shop. You could visit them and insist they do even better work for you :D
 
Bill D- Heh heh, yeah, that's about what I'd probably say :D But I gotta handle this one long-distance as opposed to going out there and doing it in person, so I wanna see if I can get some first-hand-experience comments. The guys doing the mechanical work were *supposed* to have shops that they'd vouch for, but once I impressed upon them how particular I am they backed off of most their recommendations and the one shop they were counting on seems to have gone out of business :rolleyes:
 
They may have gone out of business probably for doing too over- the-top jobs ( much higher charges as a result) ;) :(
 
Heh heh! That would just be my (and their) luck! I expect this one to cost a bit, and the right shop wouldn't do it inexpensively anyhow.



People always seem to say "oh, I *could* do it but nobody would pay me enough.." but they only say that *until* they run into somebody who really knows from good work and *is* willing to pay for it. True of a lot of things, not just auto painting...
 
I am in Vegas, but I can't vouch for any painters. If you find any names that sound promising I will try to look at their work. There is one that has the same name as my company Sudden Impact. They started here a few years ago and there paint jobs start at $2000, but I haven't seen their work. I f I can help let me know.

I can refer you to one in Washington State. He did my son's truck and I saw the individual pieces being painted in the spraybooth. It is truely supurb.
