Need Bumper Painted....Shops?

[shalezoom3]

Purchased my rear bumper and should have it by friday.

Called a bunch of auto body places and nobody will paint individual parts....anybody know of a painter...or perhaps know a shop that will?

Any info would be great. Thanks.

shouldn't be any overspray if he does the whole body piece... (at least if he tapes off anything...)

Yeah I would just deliver the part and give the paint code....can't afford to be without a car.

But thanks for the replies guys....I will hit up RJ when I am ready.

hey mayn, so how's it going with the bumper ? i rolled by ur work the other day and i remembered that you needed it painted. btw the shop we're talkin about is just down flamingo around the palms.

Hi guys! RJ's in the conversation now! Woooohoooooo!! ok i'll shut up now.. hit me up brotha!

hahahahaha LMAO. dude what r u smoking ?

 

[shalezoom3]

ahh haven't done anything with the bumper yet. I want to get the trunk and get them painted at the same time.

but....had flat this morning....$120 to replace that. Manhole cover jumped out and bit the sidewall.

Also battery is almost dead...so $150 Optima Red-Top on its way to me.

But the tires i had are no longer made...so now i am rolling on some cheap Bridgestone....so that means some Nittos will be coming my way as well within the next two months.....gotta try and have a positive out look.

But RJ i will for sure hit you up when i am ready to get it done.

to ressurect an old thread:
how's ur trunk hunting and bumper paint search going ?

 

[shalezoom3]

I found a shop that will do the painting....but I held out on the trunk for a little while cause on another forum there is talk of a carbon fiber trunk group buy.....so waiting a little while.

If nothing happens in about a month or two then I am just gonna get an OEM one.

CF trunk would look nice on ur car, are u also planning on a CF hood ?

 

[shalezoom3]

yeah I want to go carbon fiber hood as well. There is a company right now making a prototype evo style hood right now, then it will go up from sale.

is it evo 7 or evo 8 style ? the 8 hood would look sweet, it'll follow the shape of ur front end. u should think about being their guinea pig

 

[R2s99zoom]

just curious, how is it an "evo" style hood for a mazda?

tho I'm thinking a hood with the 2nd gen RX-7/T-II style scoop would look HOT on a 3/6...

 

[shalezoom3]

I will see if i can find a pic of a mazda 3 with the evo stlye....I know some of the hatch owners have had some made.

By far one of the best Mazda 3s out there.....to bad he is in Iceland.

Edit: I guess these forums won't let me put a link to other forums for referance purposes....hmmm. this should work.
