Please help - need recommend on a paint shop in the Los Angeles area

[Rob H.]

Hey there -

I took my '69 L36 in to have the carb adjusted at Dick Guldstrand's place in Burbank CA, and while it was there a fluorescent bulb happened to get knocked over and smashed on to my fender scratching up the paint. Uggh. If anyone happens to know of a good paint and body shop in the Los Angeles area they would recommend I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't usually make recommendations...but I'm surprised Dick didn't tell you about Jeff Reade...his shop was within walking distance of Gulstrand's old shop...but last time I was there, I believe Gulstrand was getting ready to move...Jeff does quality work and it shows every time he brings a car out...you can pick his restorations out from across the field...

Hi Vinnie -

Thanks for getting back to me. I am familiar with Jeff, and have taken my car into him in the past but did not think he did paint work? I will follow-up with him to see if he does.

Jeff does NOT do paint. And Vinnie, Dick moved to Burbank in 2000, clear across town from the old Culver City location.

Rob are you looking for a NCRS LACQUER type painter, or a newer style base coat / clear coat more modern painter?

Jim...that's about the last time I was there...Dick actually took me outside and pointed out Jeff's shop...

Whoever painted the silver '62 for Jeff that was at the Sacramento regional in the fall, that I featured in the regional layout...did an absolutely fantastic job...

BTW...Dan Hampton is no longer a member (different thread)

Hi James - Yes, I am looking for an NCRS type of shop. Someone well versed in fiberglass etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Vinnie - I called Jeff and, as James mentioned, he does not do paint. Thanks any ways though!

Vinnie, the 62 in Sacramento belongs to me and it was painted by Jerry Spinelli in Redlands, California.

No Problem Vinnie. Jeff did the restoration work for me on that car and did a magnificent job indeed.
He also sat my car in Sacramento after I PV'd the car early Thursday morning. I had to leave after the
test was completed. Regards
