Question about where to have my ''OEM euro bumper'' painted!

sehrgut · 10-18-2011, 10:06 PM

Hi guys. so just bought a primered front EURO bumper.

I've seen the sticky with bodyshops but, do any of you guys know by experience which bodyshop i can have this thing painted like OE paint quality + durability??

I'd rather pay little more, I do not want to get some cheap paint so it starts peeling after a year or two due to few rockchips. Have any of you actually had your bumper painted somewhere couple years ago where the paint is still good?

Sorry but im pretty picky so just want this to turn out like or very close to OEM paint standards.

Thanks guys!!

go to new century BMW collision center, they'll even replicate the orange peel effect using BMW approved paint.

I have my front bumper fixed and repainted a couple weeks after I got it

No one has ever been able to tell
hell, I can't even tell

but the dealer did damage the side of my car slightly, and fixed it...but I can tell
I would have taken it to my shop, but they fixed it before even telling me it happened..X.x. long story
point is it's done right

Shop is in North Hollywood, owned by a family friend of mine

I had the EU bumper painted and installed at C&C Collision in Pasadena last week. They did an immaculate job. If you want to see it in person, PM me. Talk to Rett and Nate, they are very knowledgeable and transparent. Nate is an avid M3 enthusiast.
