Paint help

[mdunn250]

I want to install my termi front bumber when I get back from deployment, buy the old lady isnt gonna let me spend much for paint. Any one know a good place to go that wont charge a arm and a leg? I am gonna re do the paint in a few years so im not looking for the best paint w/ a 10 yr warranty or nothin like that, just a decient place with a good rep for paint match, no runs, orange peel, or flaking off after a few months. (I've had that happen before, If you ever need paint or know some one who does in the middle GA area DON'T go to Diamond collision repair. I had a very very bad expirence with them)

I've personally never had my stang repainted, but I recently came accross a really good article on the subject. After reading your post it made me think about it. It talks about everything from really cheap paint jobs to the best for your Mustang. I wish I could give you a first hand recommendation, but anyway, I hope this helps. It does recommend some shops...

I would think any body shop would take cash to do your facia.I paid 200 bucks cash to have my GT's facia redone,and 200 bucks cash for my cowl hood to be done.Both were done with quality stuff,and both parts look better then the factory paint.
You just need to talk around,and see.

Really? Is everything more expensive there? I've never been.

Pretty much,even when the dollar was at par,we still got screwed here,most of us did most of our parts shopping in the U.S.

Haven't done anything paint wise in a while. But I paid 200 bucks to have a hood done a few years ago, and that was in GA.
If you do the prep work and just have them spray the bumper you might find something cheaper, but you'd need to worry about the paint not matching perfectly...since they won't be blending it to the car.
I've heard good things and bad things about maaco, but they are the cheapest place I know....if anything you could get a quote from them.
