I'm looking for a paint hookup on my 1994 325is. The lowest offer I have had is $350. That still seems high to me. Can anybody recommend a place to get the side skirts and lower bumpers painted to match my car?

Lower bumper? is that just a lip? Side skirts: are they on the car?

Let me know,
Christian

Everything is on the car. I need the gray areas painted:

$350 is actually a pretty reasonable price.
You could do it yourself by getting paint from Tower Paint. Several people have done that before, and it looks decent.

I don't trust myself with a job like this. I'd rather pay somebody.

Why don't you get some M3 sideskirts? It will look better.

That would cost more.

350 is a good price. But it's hard to match old paint.

You get what you pay for with paint work.

That would cost more.

True but it would be easier to paint with the parts off the car.

Damn, I guess I'll have to save up for this.

check the group purchases.

i may know a couple places you could get this done for pretty cheap, probly wouldn't be as good of quality as some places but a buddy of mine has a paint gun, or i know of another place out toward lynden that should be pretty cheap

Price please?

not to hi jack your thread i need a hook- up on paint also need to get the car ready for bimmerfest

I have a friend with a shop I can ask him for a quote.

ATM I just need my side skirts painted, but before I do I need a dent bumped out.
I might get a black m-tech rear bumper that will have to be repainted also.

Thank you, that would be awesome :buttrock

Price please?
i'll ask about the place out in lynden today, and the other option is just convincing a friend with minor experience in painting to paint your car, but it's kinda unlikely; he's really busy. i'll let you know

ask for me also Christan i need the front, sides, rear, and grills:buttrock

There is red paint under the grey paint on the sides of your car. My Blue 95 325is has places where the grey has come off and the blue shows through. I read that you can use some sort of Castrol brand cleaner and a shoe brush and scrub off the grey on one side in about 2 hours of work. So, 4 hours could save you from having to paint the sides... which might drop that $350 figure, and your paint would be original on the sides still.

The instructions I read did say you would want to spray the newly exposed paint with some sort clear coat...

Since my grey paint on the sides sucks, I was thinking of having them painted black, and having the lower parts of the bumper painted black, so I wouldn't have to worry about color matching to the blue, and it would match all of the black around the car.
