sup guys just ordered nismo v2 style bumper from shine. i was wondering if anyone knows any good cheap(price) shop in san antonio or if there are any painters here that can hook me up. my car is C/S. i have a painter in my hometown that hooks me up but lately has been overcharging so i want to compare. also.. is the bumper suppose to be on when painted or can it be off then installed. (i have heard that it gets a different tone in colr if its not positioned right when being painted)

 

Good question because I need my ings kit painted too. The place I was going said 650 just to prep and paint the sides and back. He hasn't even seen if it fits the car perfectly.

 

wow thats a little much i think. the guy in my hometown just painted the whole rear fender of my dads truck for 300 (had several dents from and accident) so he had to do body work too. i dont think he will charge more than 175.. if i take the paint. btw where can i get an exact match of paint.. i have a alot left over from when i painted my old lip but the color was off. i want to buy an exact match..

 

I thought it was a little much too. Considering it is going to be more if he installs it.

 

good luck with that. cant wait to see it when its installed. AF, what INGS did you get? the lx or n-spec?

 

You need to give the body shop your paint code off the plate on the firewall in the engine compartment, can't go wrong that way. The parts should be painted and then installed for all around paint coverage.

 

the paint code for chrome silver is KY0. I usually pay my painter about 100-150ish to paint a front bumper, but i install it myself since its not hard at all.

 

I got the Nspec. But got nowhere to get it painted and installed.
