yep, me too... its a shame to spend so much time, money and effort on something that sits in the garage... but like you said, its a hobby...

You may not realize it - but you basically just stated my situation (except the days of spending money on the kid are long past)...

You dont have to brag to me man... I've been there done that (and then some)...

Wow whats up with the attitude. For a proper quote you need to whats being painted. The more aggressive bumper the more groves and more time it takes to prep and paint. On average is just fitting (saying they fit pretty close) the bumper should run round 200-350 and sides round 100-150 perside if you bring in the parts. If its me doing the work i sand and prime all parts. I dont trust anything bleeding thru the gelcoat. The primer hides all imperfections then start with base and clear. Followed with a sand a buff if needed. Also depends on color. Tricoats and red and yellows are more expensive

if its fg it will be easier to manipulate than poly... but the condition of the surface will probably require more prep... you really need to have a shop quote it for you...

Auto Explosion isn't far - they do great work and many of the custom body work you see on local Gs and FXs were done there... give 'em a call: 310-329-6691

I live in the OC as well! Let me know if you find someone that can do it for a reasonable price. What kind of bumper are you going with?

I am looking to get the GTE front bumper and side skirts but I have NO IDEA where to go as far as them getting painted and installed.

Good luck
