We used CR Auto Pintura in POP. Ask for Alex or Elido 809 781 4191 or 829-804-0174. Our insurance company sent us and we were very satisfied with their work.

i have used " el chino" in Pto Plata for minor paintwork... ask any taxi driver for directions to where "chino" who paints and does bodywork ..he's cheap and popular (i'd rate him a 8/10)

809 884 5992, ask for el rubio, spanish only. the cost depends on the car, the paint, the colour, how much needs to painted and so on.

i asked. there are many variables here. what year (apparently they differ), what paint, what colour, what damage (if any). some more stuff. in any case, the cheapest you will get is about 20k, with decent paint. more if there will be other jobs to do: dents, rust, scratches and so on.

ha ha, a coincidence because i did ask about black paint :) in any case, rubio says about 20k. he uses good paint too, not the cheapest stuff that will need to be redone in no time. he did door or a side on my little car and a great job he did.
wait until the sun comes out and check him out. opposite texaco, on the other side of the street there is a car dealer, pain shop is in the back.

if you plan on just painting matte black, why are you so worried about a master craftsman? matte is a flat color, so you don't have to worry about the clear lacquer part. that should be real cheap. all you are painting is basecoat color.

pas, if you paint it matte, there is no need for the clear.

thats why i wanted it painted...

becuase the clearcoat is letting loose at the moment!!!!!all over the car.....

for that i wanted just matt black...no more boogie clearcoat
