Looking for any suggestions for a good paint shop in or near the south bay?
I'm getting a Seibon CW carbon hood and i plan to paint it WRB (keep the vents unpainted), but read some stuff online that it can be more difficult to get a good result than metal, edges can be a challenge apparently.
Anyone had good experience getting carbon parts painted before, or recommendations for a shop that really knows their stuff?

 

What were the reasons why it was harder to get a good result?

 

I've always had great luck with The Works Autobody in Santa Clara
The Works Auto Body - Santa Clara, CA

He does tons of Ferrari, Lambo work so CF is nothing new to him

 

Read some accounts on iwsti where the edges of the carbon skin were difficult to get cleanly painted, some bubbling & pinholes that needed work to get right. couldn't find the threads now of course

 

Thanks, i'll give them a call

 

I had my Vorsteiner double sided CF hood painted on my E90 and it came out flawless. Really any decent shop should be able paint it and have it look like OEM paint.

 

Painting the whole thing is not the same as masking some areas off, but yes, a good shop will do it right regardless.

I like Da-Les Autobody in Sunnyvale.

 

Dropped the car off today, looking forward to getting some good results back in about a week.

 

Chris is good people. If you get bored walk across the street and to the complex just to the right and see what his nephew Joey does @ InfamousMetalworks.

 

things worked out well...

 

Gotta admit... I like that. you need black wheels though.

 

Yeah man nice hatch

 

Pretty slick. Almost looks stock.

 

I'm a traditionalist, i'll be putting the stock goldies on for BAM. But yeah, if i planned to keep these silvers long term, i'd be thinking either black or white for them.

 

BAH!

And FYI... white will look like **** on that car. And it's not traditional. Black. Black and only black. Trust me... I stare at colors all day for a living.

LOL!
