Im trying to get the 4 panels of my car painted to match my original paint on my 2000 acura integra ls. The 4 panels are the hood, front bumper, and front quater panels. They just have a bunch of nicks and chips. The rest of the car is perfect, and not faded at all. Who would you recommend to do this job? I want it as factory as possible, (like 3 coat paint..etc). I would probably bring in the panels to do individually. Thanks!

it may be better to bring the whole car so the painter can blend the colors.

i've heard good things about paragon on capital and i've used tru2form with success.

i had my old 94 probe GT painted at maaco for $250 (it was some half-price deal) 8 years ago (a lot can change in 8 years, though)...there were drips when they were finished...i showed them and they fixed it free of charge and without any arguing...i had the car for two years before it was totaled, but within that time the paint was great

my ONLY complaint was that their tape job around the the windows was poor and they painted a little bit of the rubber below the window on the door...i THOUGHT it might lead to chipping and flaking, but in that 2 years, it never did (and it didn't really look bad, i was just afraid it was going to be crap)

my $0.02
