can anyone recommend a body shop for me, preferably in south calgary? i am lookin at gettin my rims painted and dont really know of any good bodyshops. if anybody wants to reccommend someone id appreciate that

 

i haven't heard much about other bodyshops but i know the one we have at the dealeship i work at is reputable and does good work. its shaganappi chev olds if your interested the only thing is its in the northwest just off of crowchild.

 

^^how much would they charge?^^

 

not sure how much they charge, i think the going rate right now is $60 or $70 but don't quote me on that...either way i know for a fact that they do good work and are reputable. can't be a whole lot for the rims though.

 

is that per wheel or all 4 wheels?

 

Would this work on the polished rims? I'd like to get em done black or gun metal but thats one mod I'm not about to do on my own... (LoL with my luck I'd bust out the belt sander and wind up with a 4 spoke rim :P )

 

james what do you think would look better, i think we have the same car? dark gunmetal or black? and if i get black do you think flat black or gloss? im getting one of the three i believe but i donno which one . i donno if i get black, if it will be too much black (my cars black. but i think gunmetal looks rad. i may get a red accent somewhere on my wheel

 

gun metal looks good on black...you'll have to much black if u go for a flat black, choose from gloss black or gun metal, or maybe leave the lip of the rim charm and paint the flat spoke part gloss black. hehe that would look good, i dunno hehe...trying to help...

 

actually that wouldnt be bad with the gloss black!

 

so i talked to our bodyshop manager and he said that they don't do rims but he recommended a place called alberta wheels, he said that they'll do it as for price you'll have to give them a call and get a quote...i couldn't see it being a whole lot for 4 rims as they're not very big.

 

like anomolous' wheels? i dont like that, i would rather have black/gunmetal and red, then black/gunmetal and chrome. im thinkin gunmetal, it does look unreall! and ill put a red accent somewhere.


and thanks outtamymind for askin your boss for me, ill contact alberta wheels.

i couldnt find a place called just "Alberta Wheels"

 

ya i think thats it...if its not then let me know and i'll get the number from the bodyshop...but i would say that the address being that is a mere coincidence lol.

 

I personally thing to avoid to much black - gun metal will look sharp - thats what I plan to do. maybe repaint my center bowtie to stand out on it but yeah I think we do have the same car ^_^

As for the comments about Alberta Wheels - they used to be located on the corner of 14th street and 12th Ave SW (down the block from Crush) but about 2 months ago they closed down - I don't know if they moved or what but I used to drive by them all the time on my way to work and now the store is vacant and well at that time I was still in my Neon and wasnt about to put Rims of that POS :P
