    Looking to repaint my truck as the clear coat is practically disappearing before my eyes. Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good auto body / paint shop. I'm located in San Gabriel Valley. For those that have gotten paint jobs done recently, how much should I expect to pay?

    Yea, that's true. I did find some reputable ones on yelp.

    I just figured that a TW member's reference would be more reliable.

    Find a local autobody supply shop and ask some people there who they'd reccomend (they tend to know the word on the street when it comes to good painters), not a bad idea to ask more than one person or place either. Or if you ever go to any car shows ask some people who own some cars in the show if they know of a good painter around.
