Paint in vancouver
Howdy guys/gals,
I'm a bit new to the Vancouver s2k scene so i am wondering if you guys can help me out. I have an 03 BB s2000 with a Cavalerasco (no idea how to spell and or say it correctly) body kit. The paint is starting to chip on the front and rear bumper and i need to get it redone. I find myself in a bit of a rut though with this car. It's a nice car and i refuse to bring it to the same kind of body shop i might have brought my civic to. That being said, i've called around to some of the nicer shops and have gotten 'we dont work on honda's only BMW's/ Audi's'. Although i wanted to give them the 'just so you know my car looks nicer and would command a higher price that those beat old a4's you work ok' but basically if they dont want my business then im not interested. The issue is that the kit is fiberglass, fits well and i want to keep it but i need a good shop who is willing to do a good job on it. Sand it, prime it, prime it again, sand it, paint, sand, paint, CC, CC, CC and more CC!
That might be a bit much, but you get the idea.
Please let me know what you guys know!
Cheers,
Alex

I've also heard to stay away from AK.
Its just so unfortunate because i hear plenty of 'stay away from....' but no 'oh this place is good'.
Here is a picture of the car, many people think the kit is too much. Personally the only thing i am unhappy with is the skirts but i've not found any better options.

Welcome, and I would like to see pics too!
I've used Starlite Autobody in BBy before and have been happy with their work. Mind you, this was a few years ago though, I believe Ray (rk604) has had more recent experience with them, maybe he'll chime in later.
