Hey Arkus... hope you're doing well. Not too far from you is Doug's Custom Paint and Body in Chatsworth. When I got my aftermarket WCC raised hood and Tigershark front, they did the painting (along with the TS fitment). I was very pleased with job they did. They weren't the cheapest shop out there but I felt I got my moneys worth. Matt

They do have a website,

www.dougscustoms.com

The car show was great... maybe next year? Here is a write up about it on Westcoastgearheads... you can see the back portion of my Silver C5Z in one of the photos...

i have a friend in Ventura who specializes in paint/body. hes been on the show Rides a bunch of times for the work he's done. He's not cheap but the quality is 1st class. He does his work out of his custom shop and also runs the service dept. for Gold Coast Acura.

If your interested i can get you his number.

complt1@sbcglobal.net let me know

If Steve LuVisi does your restoration, he can coordinate with Eagleton paint on the next block over. Eagleton can do NCRS or custom work and did my '64. When you visit Steve, pop over there and check them out. They often coordinate on restorations.
