This spring I am going to be replacing both front and rear bumpers and hopefully both fenders. Where should I go to have paint done, Im looking for good, not as cheap as possible. I mean, I dont want to pay $1000, but yeah. Thanks in advance.

i need my bodykit and driver fender matched up, i did it rattle can style but the orange peel sucks ass and in certain lighting it looks off…anyone wanna quote me on that…seems like we got a paint advertising thread here. BTW my code is a really hard one to match on the focus as it was a special edition color at first and has a lot of variables in it. i was quoted $700 by TurboLS1ss’s dad’s garage about a year and a half ago

Well, I dont have the Bumpers or the second fender yet, but i want to do them all at once… They are just OEM parts, no crazy kits or anything. I can probly even bring them primed/prepped or whatnot if that has any effect on the costs. Ill try to get in contact with as many of the aforementioned and get some quotes… Its a Milano Red 1998 Honda Civic EX if that helps anyhting. Thanks for the advice, everyone!

:-/ I know… Thats why I’m shopping around this time, haha. I got a quote for $950 including prepping and repairing both bumpers and one fender… I’m going to be adding another fender to that mix, but will have them ready for paint this time.
