Want to get my rockers and bumpers painted on my 92' 325i. Who knows where there is a good place to go for a good paint job but relatively good price?

Thanks
Mac

Painting bumpers and moldings is one thing, but painting an entire car is tough stuff. Best bet is to call around to find out if any of the guys that work at the paintshops do "side jobs" on the weekends to pick up extra cash, they could probably help you out the most.

to do this properly, you need to remove the weatherstipping, the door handles, etc etc... it isnt like youre spray painting a fence here. :rolleyes:

... and technique plays a large part of how it will turn out. I would really leave this kind of work to a professional.
