Touchup Paint for Front Fascia I have a nickle sized paint chip area on the front fascia of my 99 FRC and a couple of smaller paint chips on the top of the headlight lids. Anyone know of a good place to get these fixed without spending $500 bucks. I have had two estimates, one for $550 and the other for $750+. I live in Oly so something in between Seattle and Portland would be ok.
Thanks
Danny

I hate to break it to you but you will not be able to fix those chips to where it looks perfect without respraying the whole nose. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. For $500-750 you should be able to get it resprayed provide there isn't any repairs required. A nickel size chip is pretty big.

And you want some that knows how to do the plastic pieces right.

Let me see what I can do.
I work for Enterprise and we have a pretty good relationship with a couple of body-shops (doesn't hurt that I work in Loss Control, which is basically the dep't in charge of damage to our rental fleet). I'll see if I can pull a few strings, but no promises.
Bel-Red, BAR, etc are over-priced. They do good work, but you'd be better off w/ Showcase in Kirkland if anything. They fixed $15,000 worth of damage to my dad's '00 FRC when a semi backed over the front of it
but let me see if I can get one of our shops to do it. They are AMAZING!
