I've had my M3 bumper sitting in my garage for almost 8 months. I'd really like it to get painted. I'm getting quoted by everyone from 150-200. Even a freaking Maaco quoted me to 250!!! I wanted to slap the man.
I tell them i'm shopping around to find a good price and they get offended when I don't give them business. Times are tough and I know someone is willing to do a good job at a fair cost. (I know you get what you pay for, but this is a front bumper, I dont expect it to be color matched, I just want a decent job)
So can anyone on this forum give me a referral to a place or if you are a body shop hook it up?

If you saved 21 cents a day over that 8 months period you would have already been able to afford that $150 paint job

haha, then you're not very good with painting...
honestly, $150 is not bad and from what I've found, you're not going to get a decent paint job for less, unless you do it yourself...

Just take the 150
Yeah, that's a good price. Even at $200 you're still doing good.

i was quoted $325 in brkln for a bumper (full paint job) with the bumper on the car. so if u bring the bumper removed maybe thats less $$$ but still 150 sounds good deal...
