Question Anyone use Custom Kreations for paint work?

I'm looking to get a 04 trunk + STI Spoiler (orginal color aspen white), sideskirts, and rear aprons painted San Remo Red. Anyone use Custom Kreations in San Jose? Good experiences? Bad? I figured i would try the sideskirts and rear aprons first. If i like the work, i'd let them do the trunk n spoiler.

Does anyone recommend another shop in the bay area?

(I used Avenue Auto Body in San Carlos fix a bad door scrape. The did a great job, perfect paint match but they're freakin pricey.)

I haven't used them directly. Although my boy, paints cars on the side, had some paint color matched and they did a fine job. Just take a look at the cars they already painted. That's the best way to tell if they do good work.

I believe you mean`Creative Kustoms. George and Elizabeth are great to work with. They do a great job. Many of us have had work done there. I have had extensive work and will go back.

Most of my work was through insurance, so I can't really comment on prices. I did have a few small pieces done (fog covers, sideskirts...) for a pretty good price.

For the work they do, the price completely justify the cost. Not saying they're expensive, but you get an awesome deal for what you pay for. At least that was my experience with them. I highly recommend them. George & Elizabeth rock.

Today I managed to rash up the bottom of my front bumper (parking mishap) and am feeling rather depressed about it right now. It needs some prep work and paint to look like new again. How much should I expect to pay to paint a front bumper on a 06 wrx??
