I need a referral

To a good and reasonably priced place to get a bumper painted. Any suggestions? I'd like to stay as local as possible.

I know someone that works at Elite Automotive Services at the Irvine Auto Center, i'll check with them to see if they can get you good pricing on paint. Or you can call them and tell them that your a friend of Kevin's, if they ask which Kevin, the guy that owns the Honda Fit. Hopefully they'll give u a good price. (949) 454-1000‎

how much is it for a bumper and lip to be painted? My friend said his shop could do it for around 150-200 is that fair? I have no experience when it comes to paint. Ohh and i'd be able to drop the bumper off.

I'd have to check, but the range is about $300-400. I use a shop that paints for the BMW/Benz dealer in Glendale.

I could find you a place for the same range, but the paint is not going to be as good. It might not match or not look good in a few years. Depends on how long you plan to keep the car.
