One of my front fenders cracked on my E92 and I was considering buying M3 style fenders for it. Saw a couple of vendors offer painting services and was curious if anyone has gone this route and what the out come was as far as fitment, paint quality, color match...

I have purchased two front bumpers for my old E46 and recently for my E92 from Umnitza, the paint was good but I'll admit that it was the easy route and cheaper than OE. I had the rear Sport bumper painted locally at a reputable shop and I paid twice the price compared to the front. There was a reason that the shop was filled with Porsche's and Classic American muscle cars. My experience with Umnitza left a lot to be desired, there was an issue with the shipping label, the tracking number didn't change for a week and suddenly gave me a days notice of delivery. I still have Sport side skirts to add to my M Sport conversion but neither Umnitza or Mod*******s seem to offer paint for the item, perhaps you'll share your potential vendors.

i used this company to purchase a rear tow hook cover for a 21 x3 and the paint and clear coat was a perfect match for the oem paint; granted this was a very small part, but the entire experience was on point:
