Good paint guy in Tampa/St Pete?

Jayhovah · 07-13-2014, 07:59 PM

Anyone know a good painter in Tampa/St Pete with reasonable prices? When I lived in Tampa 5 years ago I had some work done on my 350z by Blue's Kustoms but it doesn't look like he's around anymore... he did a lot of work for the zclubofflorida.com but that forum isn't around anymore either. =(

Anyhow.. I just got delivery of my 2011 PW on Friday night, didn't have a chance to wash it until today and it needs a little love... Need to get the front bumper repainted, want to get the door handles color matched, previous owner left must have spilled gas when filling up - tried to use touch up paint to correct it but it looks pretty rough. Hopefully can get this stuff corrected without draining my bank account.

Anyone got the hookup?

Thanks man! I just called and spoke with Tyler (Flocko wasn't available) but he mentioned you had called and given them a heads up (thanks for that btw). I'm going to try and head up there today after work if they are still around to get an estimate... I'll report back!

Jayhovah · 07-15-2014, 06:08 PM

Just went over there for an estimate... Flocko wasn't there so Tyler just checked the car out and told me they would get back to me with an estimate. Fingers crossed!

Lothario · 07-16-2014, 09:38 AM

ill put in a good word for you.

Lothario · 07-16-2014, 09:38 AM

you should of showed up a few days earlier, he had a pair of gallardo's he was working on. they came out sick.

Jayhovah · 07-16-2014, 04:40 PM

Just got a quote from Flocko's.. $772 to fix the damage to my rear quarters and front bumper. Seems reasonable enough for me. I am going to drop it off Tuesday afternoon before I have to leave town for work. I also asked about shaving the front emblem and color matching the door handles.. would have been about $275 more. I just opted for the damage repair. I'll report back here when I get the car back! Thanks for the referral, Ryan!

I have another thread on this with a few pictures here:
Can I fix this? Previous owner's touch up "art work"

Lothario · 07-16-2014, 09:19 PM

Jayhovah · 07-16-2014, 09:38 PM

Lothario · 07-27-2014, 10:10 AM

Jayhovah · 07-28-2014, 01:04 AM
