Hot Rods Is there any such thing as a Tijuana Paint Job?

I've read about cheap one-day Tijuana upholstery jobs, and from the pics, they don't look bad. Do they also do paint jobs south of the border, or are those reserved for the witness protection program?

 

Yes

 

I heard those paint jobs are the hottest thing around.

 

They use gasoline for paint thinners.

 

I have a friend that got his early thities REO painted in TJ a few years ago, and it looked pretty good for about 8 months. Then it started to look bad. Then eventually it looked real bad.

 

you get what you pay for! try supporting your local economy and give a local painter a shot.

 

Yep. Ya gotta get connected to get good work. But man, the border town's are becoming more violent lately.

 

Tijuana is a bit far from PA. I doubt the savings will make it worth while unless you combine it with a couple of the other known local attractions.

 

yes sir I will take the super gringo special paint job, a side of tucknroll upholstery, and throw in a donkey show for dessert

 

Amen!

I can speak with an accent if you like?? Odelay vato...

 

And don't leave your car there overnight.
You may never see it again.

 

Depends what you are after.
You don't have to drive as far south.
There is this guy in the San Fernando valley who can do a sweet 20 footer paint job for just a few six-packs.

 

He can do it because everybody knows the paint costs nothing but the masking costs a fortune

 

I thought a Tijuana paintjob was when a mexican ***** with the runs, blows **** all over your face.

 

all baloney aside,
you can get a super quality job in TJ...but you have to know somebody.

my buddy restores mustangs. his last one sold for 50k he had it done from bare metal in TJ for about 3k. he had his personal car done there to. very nice, mirror smooth black. same thing.

BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMEONE>>>>

its more than just getting paint.
you gotta get the car there and back. getting in aint no thing. getting back may be.

 

Q: "Is there any such thing as a Tijuana Paint Job?"
A: "Yep, in North Hollywood."
