im getting my rear lip in a couple of days and when it gets here im sending it straight to the paint shop. now what is it that i tell them? do i tell them i want it painted to match my car? if so will i need the color code? does anyone know the color code for VSM? and also does it matter how many clear coats are put on? any help appreciated so thanks in advance.

 

1. Yes you tell them to paint match your lip
2. NH-583M is the paint code for VSM.

thank you sir. now does anyone know any reputable paint shops in san diego?

 

I do believe there was a thread about paint/body shops in SD if you run a quick search you'll probably come up with something.

 

Depends on how much you want to spend, but Custom Auto Body in Clairemont did some excellent work on my bumper about a year ago. It was 250 for the whole bumper, and was an exact match to an aftermarket paint job.

 

Actually 250 is not a bad price for a front bumper at all.

 

What if the car was repainted. I bought a teg 5 months ago and i can tell it was repainted. I tried to take off the stipid moldings from the wheel well and could tell where the new clear coat ended. Anyhow now what would I do cuz im planning on buying a lipthis weekend and getting it painted. What if the new paint isnt the exact shade as the old??? You know a scenario like that? Any ideas?

 

sorry i searched and didnt find the thread with the paint shops in SD. but ill check out that place in clairmont. thanks guys.

A quality paint shop should be able to match it. When I had my bumper repainted, I left them my gas filler door to match up, and they got it right.

 

yeah gas lid is what it takes... unless they are some cheap *** body shop that doesnt laser match it

 

I don't know what the situation would be for the rear lip and it also depends on the color and time its been exposed to the elements, but I know that my body guy said to paint match my jdm front they would have to paint 1/2 to 3/4's(which isn't much on a crx) of the way to blend it really well, which makes it more expensive.

I don't think that would be required for the lip, I just thought I'd point out that sometimes they need to paint back to blend it and they may have to repaint some of your bumper. Making it more expensive.

Another suggestion I would have is to have a smaller guy spray it straight VSM, or maybe even duplicolor it because I've seen plenty of duplicolored lips come out looking really good, and I think there are writups on H-T. Save your money and maybe think about getting a full body paintjob in the near future, I think thats what I would do at this point but thats because my paint has plenty of flaws.
