I got my car back, wooohoo!

It used to look like this, but the paint was really dull and had small dings all over the sides, plus the rear bumper became really porous and rough.

Someone keyed it two months ago, and so I decided to get a real paint job and go back to basics...

Car was painted by PJ Bonifacio Motorworks

Don't care how far the drive because PJ does quality work!

The car was originally red. My buddy got it painted at Earl Scheib. All I can say is....you get what you pay for.

It's glass paint, ya'll!

You can get it at your local crafts store.

i like the white. clean

silver + those tinted turn signals = no no

hmmm my sister brought her black solara to PJ's for body work and a paint job. It's the worst paintjob I've ever seen. The paint had a texture and was no longer glossy. But she justified it since she got half price.

I recently got in a car accident, and took my car there for repair, and they were charging higher than dealer prices for the parts!

I'm surprised you had a good paint job from there. Congrats though.

Nope, never had a problem with quality of work from PJ. He's done my Levin AE86, as well as my brother's Miata, AE86, and SC300. All are showroom/showcar condition.
