anybodyknow . . . anyone know of a good paint shop in nor cal? i'm lookin to have my top painted to match my car. let me know if anyone knows of a a good quality shop
I'm searching for something in the norcal area as well. I need to paint my ss hood, ss spoiler, cme valance, and front bumper. They're a tad bit darker than the rest of the car, not noticeable from a distance but bugs the **** out of me. I've heard good things about a lot of shops in the area but they all want an arm and an *** for work.

Also might wanna consider having it blended into the quarters to help the match, or u might end up like the guy below whos is off just a little because of the butt match.

How about an estimate for hood, front bumper, spoiler? Let me know how your experience goes King Nothing.

For the front bumper and hood, depending on how bad they are, will be a lil more. If your front bumper and hood looked like mine before i fixed them, cracks and covered in rock chips, then its gonna need some extra prep. And then blending into the fenders... expect $500-$700 there and maybe another $100-$150 for the spoiler. Really depends on who u get when u walk in though, all 3 of my bosses will right different amounts for the same work. If you give me a heads up of the day ur gonna come in i can try to put a word in and possibly save you some cash.

Pretty quick turn around ehh? We actually painted it first the morning you dropped it off.
And with the money you saved from it being a lil cheaper than you thought, you can get your bumper sooner lol
