Paint shop to respray 458 bumper in Northern VA/Maryland

He might have a buddy at a paint shop that would shoot it so his job is just to take it off and put it back on.

There are a lot of good painters around......but finding them to work on a Ferrari and matching the paint perfectly is hard to find.

 

Any update to this?

Yes - would like to hear the update.

I'm sure everything came out fine at the "realistic" <$2k quote compared to the ludicrous $8k+ quotes. Exotic owners tend to lose common sense when it comes to taking care of their beloved machines and over pay for basic services and maintenance (e.g. $800-$2k for an oil change or tire mounting) and examples of simple autobody work that is no different than any other car.

 

So using that logic, the quality of paint and ease of disassembly/rerassembly is the same as say a Toyota Corolla? And the expectations of a Toyota owner are the same as those of a Ferrari? Got it! then again, you could pull the bumper cover yourself and bring it to any bodyshop....and then refit and align it perfectly.

 

100 % disagree. I’ve had lots of paint work done on my cars over the years and unless your car is black I can absolutely 100% tell if a bumper has been resprayed. Sometimes that’s an acceptable outcome, but in the case of high end shops they don’t want to have your mismatched car acting as a rolling billboard for their work.

“Hey I saw this 458 at cars and coffee with a horrible paint job by X. They’ve really gone downhill”.

 

I can’t believe EuroPros turned down the job. They do solid work, I also agree D&V are massively overpriced. A bumper respray is nothing hard. 8k is beyond silly and costs have not gone up that much. They order the OEM paint which can easily be looked up. It’s mainly all labor.

 

There are so many crappy options in our area I don’t know why more folks don’t ship their cars further afield for body work — Philly, NY, Atlanta, etc.

What exactly was the estimate for?? Bumper only or blending with fenders, hood??
They are one of the best shops for high end cars and in this case I hate to say it, you get what you pay for.

Try Bradan, board sponsor and they due nice work

 

I have seen a black Lusso multiple times on Linton Hall rd in Gainesville, VA.

 

I had D&V quote me 4500 to fix a burn through mark the size of a dime on my “Alubeam paint” SLS. After some research I went to Royal Autobody in Sterling. The owner in a standup guy who did it for 950. He removed all the interior door panels and blended the paint perfectly. He said it took about 5 samples to get the perfect match and he nailed it. I wouldn’t hesitate to take my LFA there if it ever needed paint work.
