Anyone know any good body shops or reliable people?
 
I got 2 type-r lips for my civic.. and the side skirt is already installed...
I want all the skirts painted the same colour as my car(silver) and have the front grill painted to match.. then install em
I also got a little rust on front of hood and paint chipping off on front door..

Anyone got any recommendations? Its not a lot of work just I'm rather lazy and rather have someone else **** around with it..

Thanks!

Have you tried a Honda dealer? Image Honda here in Hamilton only wanted $100 to paint my front lip.

And the point of that was?

If Shop A in scarborough charges $150 - $200 to paint per side, and Shop B in Hamilton charges $75 - $125 per side. Then Driver would be a fool not to spend the $4 - $5 in gas and 30 min drive to save $200+ Dollars.

Hell even for a $50 savings it's worth it.

I go to a shop in Bradford, he's one of the best, his work is awesome. He's not cheap, but you see the difference in quality that's for sure.

AUTOPIA

Try calling those guys, I know they do good work, but I'm not sure if their prices are good or not.

Honestly though, body work is expensive. It's NOT an hour work max. It takes a lot of time to prepare the parts (sanding etc), then prime then, mix the paint, spray, wait for it to dry, etc. Then install them.. They have to take off your skirts and stuff too to spray them properly.

$600 doesn't sound like a rip off or anything if it's coming from a good quality shop. You can probably find something for like 300-400 if you shop around though.

Hell if you don't want to pay take it to Maaco they'll give you a good price, but it will show in the work..
