Good Paint Shops in GTA?

Tzu · 12-03-2013, 11:44 AM

I know nothing is like factory paint. Who can recommend an aftermarket place that's close in quality?

Anyone ever used Longmans Collision Centre for paint work? Located in Markham off of bullock, near Speedstar. I heard they do work for Nissan/Infinity/Chrysler/Kia.

Looking to get a bumper painted and BMW wants $800. Any input?

I used to work for Longman's Woodbine Chrysler, owned by the same family. I can vouch for the quality of the work at this place.

Thanks for your input. Do they do thick paint/clearcoat? Can they match OEM colors well? Also a bit worried about adhesion since I'm going to cover it in vinyl, but still want the option of taking it off to go back to factory color.

Yea, my concern with non-BMW certified shops is primarily color matching and durability. That shop looks promising though Kid_eh, thanks for the link.
