Spray front bumper

Guys,

I have a track car that needs a new front bumper. Want to get it paint matched. Do you guys have any recommendations around chicagoland area?

Thanks!

Depending on your location I could recommend different shops.

A & l does good work no questions asked, but paying 500 bucks or so for a front bumper to get painted is kinda alot. I got quoted 585 for my mtech. Just went to with a local shop for 200 and I'm just as happy

Thanks, I've used them before for other stuff but this is for a track car and I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on something that'll see a lot of wear and tear in a short amount of time

Northbrook, I'm flexible though. I can take off the front bumper and drop it off anywhere within a reasonable distance

Wherever you get it sprayed, being a track car you may be well served to wrap the front bumped in clear wrap afterwards. Should do wonders for protecting from rock chips!

I agree, the quote was 400 bucks. That's a lot for a track car that's only worth $3,500. Where did you go to get it done?
