Paint Shop for my Grille

Hey guys,

Any SoCal (greater LA area) recommendations for a paint shop? Looking to get the front grille assembly on my 4G TL color matched to the rest of my car. I know Nexson does it but want to look at my local options. Thanks!

They quoted me $120 for my grill. I'd say not bad, right?

Pacific Collisions in West Covina, ask for Jeff and tell him Jeff with the black TL recommended you. They include lifetime warranty

How good of a job you looking for? I have a friend who paints decently(works at a shop but does side work) and charges pretty cheap

yeah definitely, but I just had to ask because I know there are people who would be willing to sacrifice a little bit of quality for a much cheaper price.

but maybe try T&L autobody? they painted the side of my car when I got hit, the paint is pretty good IMO

I can get my hands on a oem grill pretty cheap. Would you guys recommend I get it so I have it as a spare?

Who's ur friend?
My lil brother-in-law accidentally backed up my NBP TSX (very slowly) into his girlfriend's car. No dents. Just some deep scratches and scuffing as a result from her license plate.
He feels like shit so I didn't give him a hard time about it. I could easily take it to a body shop to have the rear bumper resprayed or simply apply touch up paint, but I'm trying to keep my options open and look for alternative means to disguise the damage without breaking the bank.

PM me for his contact info. he painted some stuff for me and some of my friends. I wouldn't say it's OEM quality but for the price I'm not gonna complain. I had him painted my OEM decklid spoiler and since it's a small part you cannot tell the difference.
