Hey everyone,

I just bought a set of M-tech front and rear bumpers, looking to have them color matched Arctic Metallic. Has anyone had any experiences with paint shops around the DMV, particularly when dealing with BMW OEM shades?

I've heard horror stories of people taking their European cars to local paint shops and not being able to match the color exactly, just want to make sure I don't make that mistake.

As always, any feedback is much appreciated.

Yea I second this, will be doing the same thing soon. I had some work done at Waterloo motors in Warrenton not bad really except when the clear coat dried a small hair got trapped inside, might be able to take it out but idk. Rather not deal with somebody's mistakes anymore.

Is $400 per bumper just for the paint or does it include install as well.

Looking to get both bumper covers replaced on my LeMans Blue 335is. Hit and run in parking lot at Dulles cracked my front and the wife dinged up my rear bumper in the driveway. ������
