I have some pieces that need to be sprayed for my e36 (m3 rear bumper and m3 sideskirts)

Need to find somewhere less expensive that can colormatch and spray these two pieces for relatively cheap (my body shop that does body work for me charges 250 for both sideskirts and 225 for the rear bumper). I know there are other places around that do quality paint work; just the people I go to specialize more in boy and prep work, not so much paint.

I have about 250-300 I am willing to put down for a quality spray job for these side skirts and rear bumper. Everything is preprimered in black and just needs to be matched to my cosmos 1996 328i. Maybe even the shop with dismount my old side skirts and bumper and put the new ones on for me.

Even better is if i could drop the parts to be matched for a couple hourse, paint mixed, then be able to drive the car around for the day or two while the parts get sprayed and clear coated, sanded, etc... then bring the car back up to be mounted.

Any good shops in the Socal area that i could have such work done for a relatively inexpensive price?

I am in Laguna Beach; the closer the better

Interested as well, I still need to get that Nose piece off you. I had a local place repaint some panels on our last Minivan (lease return) and it was a tough to match Honda Metallic Silver ('01 Oddy) and they actually did a very nice job. Located on Via Fabricante in MV, if I remember the name I'll let ya know....

Lael's International in Oceanside does great paint work. There's this German guy there that does great work... his family owns a paint shop in Germany.

There is a place in San Juan Capistrano that does a great job, I think it is Capo Coachworks, they are right by the Oroweat Store, at the end of that street

I guess this might be a little out of the way but they do great work:

SW Customs in Azusa. 626-339-4441, ask for Ed. He did my car and it came out great! Tell him Richard sent you and he will take good care of you (not that he wouldnt anyways but couldnt hurt right? lol).
