Default Good body/paint in AZ?

Hey guys, my son crunched the front of his '95 SC400 recently, I haven't seen the damage myself but he was told by a guy that the radiator support was bent and the front bumper and hood needed to be replaced, plus paint of course. He was gonna get it painted eventually anyway so he'll prolly do a full paint job. So we're looking for a good body/paint shop that's somewhat reasonably priced, keeping in mind he's a poor college student and I'm just poor with no tuition to blame it on. Thanks for any help.

Chris

Slim in a SC? Times have changed. Get a hold of Shern, he's closer to your area and had a sweet paint job done by a small shop. I have his cell number if you need it.

Hey guys.. thanks for all the input on the local shops.. huge huge help.

Dad and I are going with a body guy near him who can line me up with parts n body work for cheap so im going to go that way for the physical stuff.. but this guy Tim sounds pretty highly recomended.. I've seen Shern, Mex, and Bean's rides up close and they look pretty flawless so im going to have to see what he's all about. Could anyone hit me up with a PM and lemme know how his pricing was?

Also I'll upload the pics of SC.

Yeah Kaiser had her for a while now.. Dad and I spotted you the day I went to get her emissions done a few months back.. Also did you get rid of the OG GS? Havent seen her flyin around the North North lately.

Once again thanks for all the input guys!

His website was fixthatturd.com...no really it was

But I guess he no longer has it.

By the way, how did the accident happen?

Sheer stupidity Mex.. everyone is crusin' along.. hit a bit of traffic and the guy infront of me freaked out and slammed on the brakes.. You can see the diamond plate from where I hit him.

Yeah I didn't notice the diamond plate at first. I hear you though about stupid drivers. Hopefully your SC will be in and out of the shop as soon as possible.

+++1...Tim painted the engine cover on my IS350. He did an excellent job and the paint match is as close to perfect as it can get. His prices are very reasonable too. Here's a pic...it's not the greatest shot because it was taken at night in my garage but you can see the work he did.
