Any good Body Paint Shops in the Valley?
As posted in a different thread I hit the wall at the track on Friday and need to get a new rear Bumper.
Tony from Performance Nissan referred me to M1 Autobody who are asking for $500 to paint the bumper with the OEM black.
I'm hoping to find something a bit cheaper and hopefully closer to my neighborhood in Studio City.
Anyone know of a GOOD place that can accomodate my need?
Thanks

I just spoke to McAllistor which is the official place universl Nissan sends their people to, they quoted me the same price but they are almost next door to me which means I wouldn't loose more time from work.
Anyone have any experience with them?
BTW Rickdogg....what's your name or do they know you at M1 as RickDogg?

Hopefully the body shop you mentioned does not have the same customer service that Universal City Nissan has

Chris is awesome, and honest, and will do a good job for you. Here is their site: www.f1motorsports.com
I deal with Chris at F1 all the time, very cool guy, they did my wheel installs including transfer of pressure sensors.
I didn't know they do body work there, interesting.

Higher price doesn't necessarily mean better job. If a shop cant do the job, they can't do it no matter how much they charge. Just look at how many people in these forums have not been satisfied by a popular shop that constantly gets mentioned here.
