I have a front and rear bumper along with 2 side skirts that I need painted. The prep work should be minimal as they are OEM parts that were on a newer car. Anyone know any shops (preferrably in Washington or Westmoreland or Fayette county) that do good work but won’t charge me a ton of money?

If it helps, I am near Charleroi/Belle Vernon.

thanks

well you get what you pay for, if you want to be cheap just rattle can the parts!

If you want a good job done, contact Jeff at 1st Try. He did a great job on my front and rear valences on the Jetta and he is repainting the 240 right now.

I’ve had work done by greater pittsburgh auto before and it went pretty well. Pretty $$ though…

Like he said, you get what you pay for.

That’s true and I agree. you have to admit though, some shops tend to want to overcharge sometimes.

if they dont dont have any damage or road rash and all that needs done is the color changed , it shouldnt cost you that much depending on who you go to…
