madporsche85 is infamous around these parts
Painting a front bumper
I got a reasonable estimation($200) from a local bodyshop for painting my GT3 front bumper. They're located right next to local Chevrolet and Saab dealership and they work for those dealerships.

However, is it okay to drop my front bumper to get painted there?
I'm still wondering if I can satisfy with its outcome.

Ask for references and try to see some of their work on high end cars.

But, quality of work will have little to do with which dealership is adjacent.
