Bumper Painting Shop/Person?

I had an incident while driving a friend's 00 RX300. Long story short, it needs a new rear bumper. I ordered one for cheap and it came, excellent condition, but it is a different color than the car.

If anyone can tip me off about a good place to get this painted in the tri-state area, I'd appreciate some contact info.

I can supply paint if it's an issue, but it'll need to be primed, painted, clearcoated. Would really be appreciative if someone has a contact at a bodyshop that can paint when business is slow or off the clock for some extra cash. Looking to spend about $200-300 for the rear, possibly another $150-200 to do the front at the same time. Of course bumpers would be off the car.

Please let me know,

Thanks for the reply...MAC wants ~$500 (very rough, though I suspect it won't be much cheaper), and the shops I've called haven't given me quotes much less than that. I'll be driving around some local shops on sat. as I feel I'd be more inclined to get a better price by talking to paint guys/owners.

I had one member pm me (worked in a shop) but hasn't replied back...some of you must work in body shops or know someone that does and want to make a few extra $$$ and help me out at the same time!? I'd ideally like to get this done next week...let me know if you or someone you know can help!

Thanks!

Paid $200 to have the front bumper on my e46 m3 resprayed. It was a fantastic match. But like others said, you get what you pay for. There was a slight bit of rushed work that you could see, but its my track car, so it was not a big deal.

Thanks for the replies guys..I'll look into the above places tomorrow morning.

I'm not looking for a perfect job -- it's an 11yo, 180k mile car and spending $500 is a bit unreasonable (I'll be doing quite a bit of maintenance on the car as soon as this issue is taken care of). As long as the paint matches and the clear will stand up to a few more years of daily use, it's all good.

I'd still like to check out a few local places before driving out to NJ...anyone know of a good shop or two on LI? I'd like to drive around the island on sat. morning before committing to a shop further away.
