good bodyshop for paint job?

I'm trying to get my car painted in different color from original paint.
Since I'm new to Vancouver, I am not sure which shop to go with.
Anyone has any experience with paint job?
If so, please recommend me one.

Not sure about the one here but I know that Maaco down in the States actually does decent stuff. All comes down to how much you're willing to pay. You could say that with any shop really though. If you want a repaint for $1000, then don't expect too much.

I use Premier Autobody on King George highway. They do a lot of nice cars and I send my fleet vehicles over there.

MG collision in richmond on bridgeport - you will no be disappointed, they do awesome work, and i can vouch for their work = breathtaking (problem with them was that the one panel they fixed made the rest of hte car look bad as it looked so good! (acura paint is really soft so it takes in flecks of 'stuff' naturally over time)

carstar just down teh road from them, i can vouch for... as the worst work ever done on a car, i was offended at teh fact that i had to refuse taking my car back TWICE... they royally fucked my car when htey had it, worst service & work EVER

Automind did a really good job on repainting my old car for about $3K.

Though we bring our cars to No.1 Collision now (it's awesome now that they have a Vancouver location)

I would not bring my car to any shop in Surrey or the boonies LOL.
