Default Paint recommendations in Boston area

I'm going to need a new front bumper cover soon and was thinking of just pulling the trigger on the full aero kit. Can someone recommend a place for paint in the Boston area? Ball park pricing for paint the uninstalled aero kit?

Thanks,

S.

There is a body shop in Natick next to European Performance Engineering that does a lot of Porsche work. EPE said they do good work. they did a weld on my door check and did a pretty decent job.

I used Clair's body shop for my bumper and hard top, the black matched perfectly

it's in West Roxybury right off the VFW highway next to Home Depot if you know the area

Third vote for them. Barry owns the business, he is a great guy and a master at his craft........... he has done four different projects for me, all four with EXCELLENT results, standing the test of time.

I'll second Dick's Auto Body for quality but provide caveats on speed and price.
I have used them twice for my wife's Mercedes. Both times they were slow and expensive.

As far as price, I guess you get what you pay for. But did I mention they were slow?

Default DICKS OR SUBLIME RESTORATIONS

Period. The best in Massachusetts

Whoever said Clair/Prime, you must have been lucky. These guys are the definition or where NOT to go.
