Default Painter Recommendations in Eastern PA Area...

I'm looking to get my lip kit paint matched PPW. O'Neil Nissan is charging me $500 to paint the veilside front, nismo sides, and nismo rears. I'm about to schedule it there for next week, but before I do.... does anyone have any recommendations on where to go that will do it for a better price and quality?

Chances are they are going to contract it out.

I would look somewhere else.

Isn't PPW the hardest color to match?

i work at shop and do all the painting, any reputable shop that knows what their doing can match any color..no b.s.. for every color theres likeanywhere from 3 to seven shades of that color ,they should have actual spray out chips that they can use to match it perfect..if they wont take the time to go outside with you and you can agree on a color that both of you can say''thats the one'' tell em to take a hike!

so you are telling me every single color you have ever sprayed has come out 100% perfect. because i call b.s. on that. i paint too, it's not a perfect world, and if it is, let me know what paint company you are using, lol. i'm not being a dick, i'm just stating what i know from my daily grind.

There is a good shop near me (Reading, PA). However, he will be more expensive than what you were quoted. I know he does good work but you may not be pleased with the price. Thats your call though...

500 bucks sound really cheap for the job your looking for. I would be careful with that. If you want it done rite the first time let me know, I have some one out here that does an incredible job.
