Trying to get my nismo v2 painted and I've called a few of the shops in the directory. Got some pretty high price quotes and was wondering if anyone knew of some shops with fair pricing. Also if anyone does painting could you pm with a price quote as well.

You definitely get what you pay for. So far the best bang for the buck Ive found is Apex Auto Body in San Jose. I paid $750 for a bumper + fender, while most other shops I checked where in the $1000 range. The color match is dead on and the texture is very close to the original paint. Only downside is they tend to promise a quick turnaround and end up taking 3x as long.


My car is Super Black, which is by far the easiest color to match. I cant comment on their metallic or pearl matching capability.

 

Also after 2 months Ive only picked up 1 small rock chip, and I do a lot of freeway driving. The paint is holding up better than I expected.

 

Ya I've been quoted in the $1000 range as well and that seems ridiculous to me....

 

$1000 for just a bumper is a little on the steep side. The average price for AAA approved shops is in the neighborhood of $500-$600.
