LCI trunk..now I need to paint it!!!!

moved from General E9X sub-forum

I just picked up my LCI trunk today and now I need to paint it. I live in the San Fernando Valley if anyone can recommend any places. Anyways, I was wondering does the paint need to be OEM BMW paint? I've heard its all about the paint code and some places don't use OEM paint but its exactly the same ? Also how long should I wait to 3M tape a Performance spoiler on?

I'm not looking to spend more then $400. A lot of shops told me you need to color blend it but it isn't totally necessary (they quoted me almost a grand) The trunk shell came primed from a dealership. I have a couple of friends and family members who know places but I want to do more shopping around before I pick a shop.

Here's a picture..I've got the tails and trunk, I hear everything else is transferable. If not I'll pick some stuff off. Oh btw SGM Pre-Lci Trunk for sale
