Default Front Bumper Respray NYC

Anyone have a recommendation for a place to do a front bumper respray in NYC area or near? Also general price would be great.

Looking for first hand experiences only. THANKS!

Final touch Collison in west NY is hands down the best in my opinion. Robert and his team are true artists and they love Porsches!!
they paint matched my front aero bumper and bumperettes cover perfectly on 13yr old arctic silver paint

Curious about this, @misterdega . Respray just for the front clip? Have you lucked out on your hood and fenders getting peppered or not adding to this project? I ask because my 911S seems to magnetically attract every pebble, rock, or stone and I've picked up a veritable **** ton of chips in my first 16,000 miles of ownership. Paint is 99% original, so I've been thinking I wait as long as I can before I tackle a big respray. But now I'm wondering about some topical repair and XPEL to delay the process.

I’ve had good luck with Dr Colorchip in the past.

It’s a good 5 ft repair and does wonders when the chips are dark and the paint is light.

Actually respray is less rock chips and more wanting to take out the bumper holes and the paint itself cracking on the front bumper (as well as. some bad scratches that show up easily on the black paint).

My car has over 100k miles and is my daily so all the little rock chips and such I just accept.

I agree. I’ve used them to paint my side skirts when I had a Boxster and it was a perfect match. Will go to them again when I need my front bumper on my 997 redone one day.

Thanks! I've been looking at Dr. Color Chip for the many little chips that seem to stand out to me.
