I just got a greddy bumper and side skirts and I need to get them painted and installed. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has had any experience with any shop around here install a body kit for them.

 

In tomball there is a great shop their website is, http://www.johnnybangs.com/

You won't get a lower price anywhere else, so give them a call to get a quote. My mom cracked the back side of her custom van and the dealership was going to charge her $600-$800 but at johnny bangs they only charged $150, and they have excellent quality of work. I also got my OEM grill painted Obsidian Black for $47 and it looks awesome.

 

anyone else tried this place? I'm also looking for a body shop in the houston area.

 

I dont think anyone else on here has tried it but their work is awesome, you should definitely try them out.

 

I went ahead and tried a placed called SABS and the guy there Art is a real nice guy. It was on this other thread and so I'm giving them a shot at my rear diffuser. Will update.

 

Turned out perfect! Very happy with SABS and will do work there again!

 

Thanks for the help, I found what I needed.

 

For future reference for people who are looking for paint shops as I am looking for a new one myself.

There is a good and bad with every shop so what im posting could be wrong from what you have experience from these shops. I just wanted to post what has occured to me and to my personal friends and not someone just out there bashing.

SABS From a Good Friend not me who went there was not happen with the way his car turned out. He was promised and paid that a certain brand paint would be use and they didnt so his car didnt match up. He then went to a paint store and purchased the paint that was promised to be use on his car he bought it back with the paint and got them to repaint it and it came out perfectly.

JC Autobody. Very reputable shop in Houston. When the scene was "blowing up" this was the place to be. As of now even the most loyal customers will still be loyal but has agreed that the work quality isnt what it use to be. Of course that depends on the painter, supplies, prep and other steps that would makes a good quality paint job.

Pinnacle auto body. Their timing and scheudle could be better. Had to make a few unnesessary trips. All works come with a life time guarantee but i guess most shops do that now to. I have seen full body paint jobs come out really nice so if you looking for a kit to be painted i wouldnt recomend it to much. My friends kit was not installed properly they had i guess over tighten(if anyone could enlighten me on how this really does happen that would be greatly appreicated) it or w/e but where you screw in the bumper to the car the line of the bumper would be more inward and not be flush with the body line.

I had talked to one of my dad's friend who owns a paint and body shop. He said to look at there oven to see if it blows straight down or our their heat lamps on the side. It would be better if it was blowing staright down less over spray. He said he would guarentee on doing a bad *** job but his workers arent on the level some people are looking for his main guy quit. The cleaner the oven the better the job will come out. If the filter in the bay are new or slightly use but if it lookes like a incabin filter with 40,000 miles on it then turn around and run like hell.

Some shops who paint outdoor and many are like that the hell that usually doesnt come out that bad. My kit was painted out doors and to me it came out nice.

If anyone can truly vouch for a shop that can do a "bad ***" job I need your recomendation there.
