I need a body shop to paint some things for my car. Specifically, I at least need to paint these rear lip addons:


Nissan quoted me $174, which I think is a bit much since I had my NISMO diffuser from the G35 painted for $100 by an expensive shop.

Problem is...I know of no reputable body shops in the Tampa area???

 

You want cheap and good, tough combo.

I used these guys for a couple grills and random parts and they did great work but I only used them because they were right down the street.

Adriani's Body Shop
7906 Anderson Rd, Tampa, FL 33634-3038
(813) 885-9356

 

I think no shop exists in Tampa. If you find one let me know.

 

I'm not looking for cheap...I'm looking for reasonable. I don't see it taking 2.4hrs to paint these like they quoted me. $174 for such small pieces is a high quote in my opinion.

I was expecting around $100 like I paid for my diffuser...and that was by Samuels Auto in Orlando who does great work and they charge for it, too.

The only good thing is Nissan can have these done in a day...but I'm in no rush.

 

Tampa Bay Customs does great work. I am happy wut they did to my g,

 

you're talking about the 3 pieces that are black? (I assume its 3 individual pieces) 2.4 hours doesn't seem like near enough time, to me. Sand, prime, sand, and paint them? Plus primer and paint and clear coat material costs? $174 sounds like a deal to me. Now, if you just want them scuffed and sprayed with a single stage, it aint going to take 2.4h. But, it won't last either.
just my 2 cents.
just looked at the pic again, probably the 2 side pieces but still...

 

Its just the 2 side pieces for now. My diffuser should be on it's way, along with my front lip. I think those come already in a matte black. If the quality is good on those, I'm leaving them to go with my matte black wheels.

 

I just called...they are no longer around.

 

What about Turbo toys?

 

Doh! Did not even think about Jim. Yeah calll him, they do pretty good work and have always been good to the club.

 

hmm if 174 is bad then Jim is going to probably charge 3 times more.

 

Totally did not think of him n
Jims prices aren't bad at all. He was the one who was going to paint my G35...but then I sold it.

 

Haha I have seen the work they did u didn't want to go to them anyways!

 

why don't you stop by a paint supply store and just see how much a pint of red paint will cost,not including adhesion promoter,reducer,clearcoat and hardener or any other supplies and then let us know if $174 is still too much

 

I got quoted from Jim at turbo toys to paint my rear bumper.

400!

No thanks
