Default where to repaint my bumper?

the paint on my front bumper is peeling. does anyone know of a good place to have it repainted so that it doesn't look all funky and stand out? my primer isn't damaged, just the top layer of paint is flaking off. looking to have it done within 20 miles of Cupertino.

Ask for Paul. He's a friend of mine and does a great job, especially with color matching.

Tell him Paul with the ATVs sent you.

I'm not sure if you want to get a replacement from Sewell. With CL member discount, price of a new bumper comes up to the same price of repainting or cheaper. It's already pre-painted... You may want to compare the price and decide.

Body shop will have to sand, primer, and paint match, paint ... which runs over $500.

I repainted half of my bumper on my honda civic and it cost me 300 bucks. And that's without sanding it... it looked upgly. Back then I was a poor college kid.

Shoot me a PM. Multiple CL members get their cars done at Reliance Auto Body - myself included.
