GTA: Paint shop recommendations?
Anyone have a good paint shop they can recommend in the GTA?
I'm looking into getting my front bumper resprayed this fall/winter. The bumper will need some minor fang repairs from scrapes and such. And I might as well get the amber reflector and headlight spray deleted. My concern with that is, if I were to do the sanding and bondo'ing myself that the shop would either refuse to paint or blame me if it turns out poorly. Lastly, if I were to bring them the bumper only, they wouldn't be able to color match at all right? I want to do this in the "off" season which means the car will be off the road. Thanks |

Had this done at a local body shop. Took bumper off car and had the Tow hook cover and headlight washer covers as a way for them to match the car paint. The colour turned out a perfect match, however they refused to delete reflectors (painted them to match only) and also would not fill in the headlight washer nozzle covers, reasons given was that due to the flex in the bumper those areas may crack.

This very common with paint shops, they can do it but don't want to take the risk. Mine have been OK for several years now.

It was a local guy near me.
I wasn't entirely happy, so I wouldn't recommend him.

I filled the reflector ports, tow hook port and washer ports. Coming up to it's second winter with no cracks. Also the paint match - The tech used a scan to do a colour match. |
