Question What shops can paint CF hoods?

I just picked up a CF GC8 hood today and was planning on taking it to a shop so they can paint it to match my factory color (RBP) rally blue pearl. Where is a good place that can prep the hood and get it to match my car? I was thinking Kreative Kustoms but if theres any other good places give some suggestions, thanxx.

Are you really getting any weight savings after painting a carbon hood? I don't see the point? Subaru hoods are aluminum to begin with.

Masters in Hayward...don't have any contact info for them, but you can probably ask Davon for that b/c he knows them.

Sorry for my wrong information, I was unaware that the WRX was the only car with an aluminum hood. Good luck with the painting. Might I suggest a paint shop in Burlingame by the name of "La Bay Autobody". George is the man.

***** man... I called them today (Masters) for an estimate, omg. $350-$400 bux to paint the CF hood, geezus thats more than it cost me to buy it!!! Need somewhere cheaper. I also called Toy Works but they have to see the hood first, no way I'm driving all the way up there just for an estimate. Any info for "La Bay Autobody" or "Kreative Kustoms" <== can't get their info cause the website is down.
