Recently I got my front bumper painted at La Habra Collosion and Glass Center in La Habra and I have to say, I'm impressed with their customer service. Very nice and friendly people, but what do you guys think of the paint job?

Before and after:

 

orange peel, how much u pay? can u get pictures in the day light in the dark everything looks better

 

it does look slightly peely... but the finish does have to match the original texture of the bumper for a stock look. cant have a super smooth buffed bumper and a POS finish surface on the rest of the car. any pictures of it on the car or in the light of day?....

 

Thanks for the input guys.

drift2004, I paid $375 for it. I don't know if $375 is a good price or not, but the price included a lifetime warranty...whatever that means and worth. I haven't had a chance to take a picture of it in daylight yet...but I will as soon as it's sunny out.

gorillafart (nice, like your sn ), good point about the paint matching with the original texture and you are also correct about the the rest of the car. Hahaha...it's a little dull here and there. Planning to repaint the entire car when I have the money, but for now hopefully the new painted bumper will keep the cop off of me.

 

i didnt mean to imply that your car is a POS... just trying to prove a point LOL....
375 seems pretty fair. life time warranty so you cant go wrong. to give u a warranty they have to had taken the bumper to at least the original ecoat (maybe even bare plastic) and primed n blocked n sanded and painted from there...bottom up

 

375!!! dam do u happen to know what type of paint? and what type of clear?

 

lol...it looks like a good job, but holy SMOKES thats a crap load to paint a bumper.

 

Pictures of the bumper on the car in Day light are up.

Keep in mind that my hood is meant to be a little darker. Also, I haven't washed my car for a while...it's very dirty, but luckily it's white so it doesn't show so much.

gorillafart, I knew you what you meant. They did mention the bumper needed to be stripped all the way down to the base.

drift2004, I'm not sure about the clear, but I believe the paint is PPG. T

jdmstatus13, I did think it was a little expensive, but since I drive a lot on the highway...I wanted to make sure the paint is not going to strip/peel off like it did before and if it does, hopefully the included lifetime warranty covers it.

 

wow 375 are u for real?.... wow just...... wow. I could have sent a hooker over to your place and she would have given you a fat line of coke and give you a gummer then go outside and strip and paint your bumper for that price man.

 

some might think thats a crap load to paint a bumper... then again some wonder why their paint fades or chips so easily.... SMH

 

looks good almost identical to ur old paint, paint fades because clear sucks and the sun eat through it, chips on bumpers because of bad prep, and sometimes some shops dont use flexible primer!!!
