I had seen a post saying that JL doesn't do full paint jobs anymore. Is that true? Have you ever heard of Nuskoolfx?

One thought is that if you paint the car here and then ship it to the Mainland you can probably look forward to a scratch or dent in that new paint when it comes off the boat on the other side.. maybe you should wait on that.

I talked JL late December of last year. He said he wants to stop doing full paint jobs. He was looking to expand, move out of their current location and hire more help.

Call JL and ask?
