Default Repainting front bumper and hood

Anyone had their front bumper and/or hood repainted recently in the GTA? I am thinking of getting mine repainted (stone chips) and would like to hear about your experience including prices (pm me if you wish).

Any referral would be greatly appreciated. Preferrably a shop that is accessible by TTC.

Go see Rick at Impera Body and Paint Shop 1251 Kennedy Road in Scarborough. You'll never meet a more honest and fair guy guaranteed!!

Take complete pics because there are some really paranoid people that will automatically assume a front end respray = major car damage, no matter what you tell them in person. The pics will help avoid problems selling the car in the future.

after seeing the GT3's that come out of Bestline's shop, I would let them do my repainting.

disclaimer: Bestline is my current shop of getting stuff done at.

I have positive experience with both Bestline and Richard at Altantica. Just another data point.

Thanks for the referrals. Can anyone provide me with an guesstimate of how much it would cost to respray the front bumper? and the hood? A ballpark figure would be nice.

call Bestline or Atlantica they should give you a guesstimate over the phone. Realize that the paint will never be as good as the factory.

I shared my recent front end paint job with MattAu. I had it done at Michaelangelos - they were referred to my by G-Teck (as a good shop in my area).

Vito at Bestline Auto Body repainted the front bumper and hood on my 928 last season, and did an excellent job.
