Need a local painter
Anyone have someone they trust and would recommend please PM or post away. Our guy that has done a few of the members closed up shop or left the business. I have a few shops I can go to through the Lexus dealer. One does great work but they are ~ 1 hour from me and I am hardly out that way. Worst case I can drop off to them next week and let them do it. Hoping for something closer if possible.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I know a few.
If you meet me this weekend I can tell you pretty much where he's at, he painted my grille before I got it done in black, matched the paint perfect, no runs, drips or anything, very fair in price as well.

Mike, we'll talk tomorrow if you come by. The guy is local, located on Ogden, does great work believe me. Can't really say anything bad about him.. Other guy is in Chicago near chinatown, yes he's asian haha, and barely speaks english, upside with him is you can bargain prices, but as of late I hear he hasn't been doing so well. (health speaking).
nice find, hope you bring this to a future meet. PM me the guys info please. Not sure I can make it out that way but will see. Thanks

^ PM me if you can, I am about 30-45 min from you. Looks like a straight shot down 83 for me to get close to where you are. Thank you!
I have 3 parts I need painted. 2 of them are already prepped and painted just not the color of my car the other needs to be primed/painted.
Do you live closer towards 55? are are you in Palos Heights also?

he's does more private work than walk in customer's he wants to know what you want painted to know if he can fit you in. he's does not speak english real well but some of his employee's do. but personaly he is the best painter that i have seen. i will try to get his employee's number for you.
