Atlanta paint shops

iwanna335 · 06-26-2010, 09:25 AM

Anyone know of a excellent paint shop in the Atlanta area. The shop I used to go to is closed and I don't know where I should take my car.
Thanks

Anybody know if any of the shops listed here use actual OEM paint?

OEM paint gets sprayed by robots and baked in ovens at the factory. No aftermarket shop will not have the capacity to recreate a coat as durable or with as much orange peel effect as factory.

I have a few things that need to be sprayed #300 Alpine White. Anyone with white in Atlanta/Marietta/Alpharetta area want to consolidate parts and see if we can negotiate better pricing?

I'm not concerned about HOW the paint is applied, but rather matching the correct color. A have AW and was thinking about buying an m-sport style front bumper from JLevi.

I got a M3-style bumper for my E90 and need to get it painted BSM. Who would do a good job (in terms of paint matching) for the best price? Cheaper is better since it's only a matter of time before the front bumper gets destroyed anyway but I don't want something that is noticeably off-color.

Also looking for a good place. Help me out!

My buddy took his roadster here after he wrecked it at Road Atlanta and he swears it came back better than new...

How much did they quote you?

Digitalinkartist · 05-07-2011, 10:55 AM

If its good enough for Niv its good enough for me. also curious as to the price paid for the bumper. Are you having them paint on car or off the car and then have them install?

PM me for price - not sure if it's OK to post it here. I will say that it was not the cheapest I got quoted but it wasn't the most expensive either.

I picked up my bumper today. Just gave it a quick look-over. There are a couple of small imperfections in the paint - two tiny bubble looking things. Thankfully, they are in inconspicuous locations. I admit I am a perfectionist so even the smallest things bother me. Other than those, it turned out great. They looked at my car to get a good paint match. We'll see how it looks after I install it.

They painted it off the car. I will be installing it myself. Some trimming is required for the fog lights to clear the ductwork and I also have to install my AMS FMIC which requires trimming and bumper removal - figured I'd combine two jobs in one. I didn't want to pay them to do something I can easily do myself.

Update: talked to Dani about the imperfections. He said they are just due to dust particles landing on the clear coat while it's drying and that he would wet sand and buff them out for me after I install the bumper.

pretty common. These should buff out no problem provided the clear isn't too thin.
