Paint shops in the 626/323 areas

redEYEjedi · 04-24-2019, 09:24 AM

Hey guys, looking for referrals on paint shops in the LA area, preferably in the SGV, Pasadena, or Glendale areas.

Just need smaller items painted such as mirror caps, front lip etc.

Don't mind traveling a little for quality work at fair pricing.

Please let me know, thanks!

I would have gone to AR Motorwerkz but they're pretty busy right now.

Figured I'd look for a few other options members have tried.

Actually so I found out the guy who did the body work for my E91 M3 conversion and current widebody E91 project just opened his own shop and can do paint and body.

If anyone is interested I can share his contact. He's located in South El Monte.

He quoted $350 for a bumper respray and $400 if you need installation as well. Turn around time is about 2-3 days depending on workload.

Makes me want to take it to the dealer just for the free loaner. The ones I got recently at New Century aren't bad. A 430i GC M Sport and an X5 (though not the V8 model so could've used a bit more torque.)

Yea that is 1 option. Granted the "free" loaner price is probably baked into the repair/paint job also!

Hey, do you happen to know any color window tinting guy in that area?

Yeah I would comparison shop first. I got those loaners while getting free complimentary maintenance though. For paint if I pay the same insurance deductible then it doesn't matter unless the work costs less than that.

Someone ought to invent adjustable tint windows like transitions lenses so you can go clear in the front whenever there's a cop.
