A lot of shops will do it, just few will do it for a reasonable price.

I'm not sure about any in Fairfax. I know D&V is good ... but pricey.

Car Toys 2, and Arthur will do aftermarket right!

For some people yes, for others no. I personally had my front lip painted and mounted for 50 bucks. I'm not sure about my guys capabilities on a full kit, but if you want his name to contact him, PM me and I'll get you situated

I hear lots of good things about D&V and CT2 I went to MR. Spoiler he is really pricey but he is really **** about the small detail stuff, and $1500 dollars is nothing.

D&V is def good and most def pricey haha

i usually take my car there...

but ngc has sponsorship from Royal Autobody in Rockville and they do pretty good work. You can give Raffi a call and tell him ngc referred you, he will most likely hook you up.

my 2 cents :
1. it depends on the parts
a. poor quality more paint: coats/layers and sanding
b. type of color: coats and or layer
c. extra clear coats

2. if you or the body shop is doing the fit ment
a. poor fit ment will need more work meaning more money

i would say take it in the actual shop and ask for quotes and turn around time and policy's on paint actually matching (no excuses on after market bs!)

best of luck!

I only take my G to D&V Autobody..FTW...hard to match my Ivory Perl paint...although Arthur at CarToys2 worked at Frederick Nissan and hooked me up when I got T-Boned...so CT2 in MD and D&V in VA.
