Re: reputable paint in tampa
I can't help on the paint shop, although I am pretty sure Dave is from the area originally. As for the whay the Pheonix Yellow is laid, it is definately a single stage, and one of the main reasons it is so prone to fade. If you have any questions about that, bbasso is the man for that.
former owner 2001 #41, miss her and will own one again.

Contact John @ LHT performance. They don't do paint, but I would trust his recommendations in the area.

Re: reputable paint in tampa
Merik's European used to be great, but I don't trust him to do good work anymore (unless you are driving a german car..).
Salemi's or whatever off 275 and howard/armenia area is supposed to be good. Gene Perez used to do great work but I've heard good and bad about him lately (he also used to be incredibly expensive, now his shops are cheaper). There used to be a shop in Pinellas Park that did great work but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.
I believe Tampa Racing has a paint shop rec thread, but beware, most of it is people looking for decent, but cheap, paint jobs.. probably not what you want.

If you have doubts about the condition of your paint, send me high res pictures and maybe I could help. I travel alot and could possibly detail the car.nannerb46 wrote: If you have any questions about that, bbasso is the man for that.
But damage is damage, not many things can be done to fix...
Yes, Single stage paint. And being it's a Honda, it's soft as shit and easily damaged.
