Just went thru this.  Sucks. Called a bunch of people.  Building and old bug and went with a buddy who said he could do it and i hate it and paid too much.  If u find someone let us know.

Some folks I know couldn't find a painter, they ended up hauling the trailer to Tucson.

Pretty sure you could have a free paint job at CHAZ

Yup painting the old vw bugs are like trying to paint a football, constant curves.

We used to be able to paint stuff outside when I was a kid. Now you can't. Did my own stuff for years.

I've used Herbie who owns Jetzons Autobody.

(480) 834-8602

545 S Robson, Mesa, AZ 85210, USA

Roughly Country Club and Broadway area.

He's been doing Autobody for roughly 30 years.

Small, friendly operation.

I'd like to paint a truck bed.  It's off the frame.  

Looking for an Earl Scheib job? Or??? My mechanic at work moonlights some stuff. He may be interested. Not sure what he charges.

Posted a thread a few weeks ago.  My buddy does good work out of Tucson.  He did repairs on my wife's suburban and my f250.  I would vouch for him  names Justin.  520-405-7508.

Did you upgrade the headlights? I'm going to guess he put a new skin on the bed.

Invite a bunch of Covid friends over for beer and paint party.  Drink beer then give everyone a different drab color rattle can.  If the camo looks good then do the rest of the truck next week.  😜😷

Hard to find a painter anymore for a reasonable price ended up having Maaco in El mirage paint my truck (check there reviews). My truck came out good and it was a lot cheaper than other places quotes.

Owner is a good guy...
