I'm hoping to get some opinions on the best body shop in the Chicago area. I am just replacing a front bumper cover, and am in need of a GREAT body shop to get the paint matched PERFECTLY.

Any help/input is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

as a tech of 20yrs, i have only seen one guy match paint dead on he had the eye for it, no matter what tool we use all we as techs do is get the color close, real close, it never will match dead on bumpers from the factory never match they are always a shade off or draker or lighter

and if your that crazy your gonna pay for color matching because that takes time

Chi is a big place, but I'd reccomend:

Bridgeview Car Care
Paul is Formula WS6 on here.

It took my painter 52 sprayouts to get the proper flip and match on my mystic teal but it was right on.

That is a bodymans/painters nightmare right there. And unfortunately with all the f'd up tints in paints today, it's damn near impossible to panel paint cars today. Just my .02


I have 9000 metallic/pearl paint chips at my disposal and I do everything possible to make it perfect as I would on my own car.

Bump & Grind auto body in Homerglen on W159th. I live in cleveland and had them repaint my 01 z-28. Talk to Lee.

Stay away from precision auto body off cicero in country club hills. After my accident, they fix it horribly and the dude even told me the hood will never line up right again, even with everything fixed right. That doesn't even make sense!!!

No such thing as a good body shop just luck, painter dudes are all high on paint fumes!

thanks everybody, I definately realize that getting the tint/shade dead on is almost impossible. I'm just hoping to find a shop that can get it as close to perfect as possible...Thinking about taking it to Paul..

Try John at Royal Coach in Bartlett. They do great work and after I got rear ended in my Subaru with pearl paint they made it look BETTER than the factory and I had bought the car new.

Thats autobody in Richmond IL is in my eyes by far THE BEST. He is the only person that touches any of my/friends vehicles (I have some **** friends also, to the point that one of them washed/waxed the undercarriage of his TA and his vette) and my parents and my dad is **** as hell about his vette. His vette (millinium yellow) came out of the shop looking better than off the showroom floor. Never seen a car not match come out of his shop. If you go there tell Tim that Ehren Sanders sent you
He is actually doing a restoration on a lamborgini right now

America's auto body is another awesome place. Its in schaumburg. I for one think that they can match the colors just about 99.8 percent correct. My father took his 07 speed3 there to get a new fender painted. His car is the vibrant red or whatever red it is. It looks perfect! Red is a hard color to match too and you cannot tell the difference. If he could have, he would have sold the car(thats how maticulous my father is).
