| The "best" place? Probably Modern or some shit like that. They will charge you your first born, but I'm sure it will be good. |

Yes, Jaehn's does an awesome job. I got my rear bumper repaired there after a hit and run in the summer and the match amazed me. I will be taking my whole car there some day. Great service too and I had just stumbled upon them. I went to 179 & 107 Ave. And yes, totally decent price.

So if I want to put a body kit on and lets say it is white and my car is a different color will they be able to match the color????????
I have heard of some people getting it done and the match was so far off. |

| It all depends on how badly your paint is faded from the original color. Matching is tough. |

| I'd recommend Paint Pro on the south end. A couple years ago my practically brand new 2001 Sentra got egged on the front fender... the egg shell(s) broke right through the paint to the primer. They had to repaint and blend a section about the size of a football, and then re-clearcoat the whole panel. You can't even tell... came out PERFECT. And their quotes are very reasonable. |

sometimes there is a reason for paint to be off..
the main reason is you are painting fiberglass or urathane
as compared to metal...look at most vehicles with plastic and fiberglass
pcs. now i metioned it you will notice that most are a shade or two out.
also tempature and batch of paint makes a diffrence...
gm has 5 diffrent shades of white and 9 diffrent shades of pewter
yet all of them say the code 50 white, 11 pewter
but most shops have a computer to help find this out napa and carlson have them. |
