Hi Matt, I've added you to the list. I hope to have an update soon, I believe that Luis (paint repairman) was going to work on one of Gcalo's cars this week.

I would be interested as well for my BMW 330i. However I'd be interested depending on how much he'd charge. If its cheaper to just respray my front bumper I'd rather do that. Any chance that I can send him pictures and he can tell me what he thinks? I will do my hood for sure however so please add me to the list!

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately, we weren't able to get Luis down to L.A.

Best,

Jeff

It is unfortunate for you folks in LA because Luis is a master.

Maybe if you had enough folks who could, so to speak, "chip" in to pay to have his truck flatbedded to LA you might be successful.

He is incredibly busy up here.

I can't get with him to do my wife's BMW!

Would repaint and install the clear bra. Looks best and holds up well.

But if you could get Luis there you would not have to repaint!

If you are in West LA, go to Beverly Hills Auto Body at junction of San Vicente and La Cienega. Ask for Dave, tell him Kurt sent you.

Entire car chip-fixed and properly buffed / polished for about $350. They spend a couple of days on it. Your pcar will look like new, and they have extensive experience with european paint / dark colors. I've had 3 cars done by them and the results are amazing. They also have excellent prices on clearbra, 1/2 hood+fenders or whole front. Their paint work is flawless.
