The 24 shops on this page paint and refinish cars in and around Berkeley, CA. What each one says about spray booths, paint brands and warranties comes from its own website; ratings and quotes come from public reviews.
The car gets washed, degreased, and stripped of whatever is coming off: handles, lights, badges, trim. Damage gets fixed, the surface gets flattened, primer goes on and is blocked level. Ask to see the car at the primer stage. What it looks like in grey is what it will look like in color.
Rarely for the money. A buyer sees fresh paint and wonders what it covers, and a paint gauge tells them how thick it is. Fixing one scruffy panel is different, and so is a peeling roof, which reads as neglect from the sidewalk. Fix what looks like damage, leave what looks like age.
Ask, because this is where quotes quietly differ. A full repaint that skips the jambs, the hood underside and the trunk edges leaves the old color visible every time a door opens, and on a color change it looks unfinished forever. Doing them means more disassembly and more hours, and it belongs on the written estimate.
None so far. The 24 shops here are the nearest listed, starting with San Francisco about 12 mi away. Booths need permits, extraction and floor space, which pushes them out of town centers, and the car is staying for days regardless of how far you drove.
