Can I Buy OEM Painted Body Parts?
Long story short I need to replace my hood and fender. MAACO quoted me $442.40 to paint the replacement hood and fender. I found the hood and fender on www.hondaautomotiveparts.com but they seem to be unpainted, is there a place I can buy these prepainted for a reasonable price?
Also, what do you think about getting non-OEM parts from someplace like this? http://www2.partstrain.com/store/?Ne...294965402+5815 Thanks, Dan |

No, OEM parts don't come painted unless it's a lip, spoiler, mirror, etc. Hoods, fenders, door shells, trunks, etc. DO NOT come painted. You have to get a body shop to paint them.

Non OEM is fine, or try a junkyard for a cheaper OEM product. Many aftermarket parts are plastic instead of metal, so just keep that in mind and look for the metal ones if that's what you want.

I was looking around for pre-painted parts myself, and I found this website that installs in Colorado and has free shipping to other states:
Featured Products I did a search to see if anyone has pointed this out already and didn't see anything, but I thought it looked pretty legit. Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone that was looking for pre-painted pieces. |

Re: Can I Buy OEM Painted Body Parts?
car-part.com see if you find a local junkyard with the part in the same color
