Portland auto paint reccomendation

autobotguy · 10-20-2009, 12:11 PM

Hey there folks. I'm lookin to get my '90 Max repainted the stock SuperWhite color and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent shop in the Portland, Oregon area. Not needing a super show worthy paint job, just something to make it look a bit nicer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I haven't used a body shop in Portland for a long time, but I would suggest finding a place that has been in business a while and maybe just call them up and talk to someone. A lot of times you can get a feel for how they are.

You should do this at a couple of places and get some price quotes.

You could also try asking on www.northwestnissans.com . There are a lot more people with "project cars" (mostly 240s and drift cars) that could probably steer you to a decent shop.

After you get a few quotes from a couple places use google local search to read about past customers reviews of the shop. I suggest this in case customers in the past can give you feedback on things to watch out for like bad paint jobs or body work, pricing, customer service, time it takes to get the car back ect. Good luck.

^^ good idea, too.

Same goes for mechanics. I checked out a review location for someone in Portland to work on my Infiniti and the dude at Nissan Specialties (NE Portland, I think on Glisan or Halsey around 70th) is awesome. I think his name is Mark. I wouldn't hesitate to take your car there if you have a problem that you don't want to tackle yourself.
