Hello all, I'm in dire need of a quality shop in San Antonio... Dumb bastards drilled in my front plates after I repeatedly asked them not to. Bright side, they're going to fix it! So as we all know, the paint will NEVER match again unless I re-paint the entire car! Sooooo that's what Im gonna do.

Any help would be truly appreciated!
Thanks Texas!

They should easily be able to spray the front and then blend the front area without a full paint job! If they can't...I wouldn't even let them try!

What dealer did it? Gunn paid the shop I choose to fix my yellow front bumper and gas door.

I used Jacks Paint Place to do the work.

At first, it will definitely be hard to tell... However, my knowledge, and how it was explained to me-- the cars are painted with the same "mix" of paint at the factory. Although my car is just plain ol' white, it will never be the *same* white.

That's not technically the issue though... I was looking for a quality shop in general, bc I'm spraying a blue pearl on it as well.... The whole "2 birds, 1 stone" thing. I should've clarified, sorry brother.

Brown Chevrolet in Devine... The 3 things I asked repeatedly he not do was 1) No license plate bracket drilled... 2) No dealer I.D. on Rear.... 3) Do Not fold window sticker!.... all of which he did! Lol!

I highly recommend Brown as a dealership! However, I *DO NOT* recommend Richard Ramirez.

Oh...well, I'd hit up Jack Paint Place like Atti2de said. They are over off of FM78 in Converse...quality shop and very good work!

The front and rear facia and the gas door are not painted with the same "mix", they are not even painted at the factory when the car is built. They come prepainted to the factory from an outside vendor, so there's always a little difference between them and the rest of the body. You could get the front bumper repainted and a good shop could get it as close as it was when it left the factory. But I see that you want to repaint the whole car regardless, so nevermind........

Lol! Thanks brother.... I don't even know ya, but completely pictured every word leaving your mouth during that roller-coaster of a speech! Haha! I appreciate it though! Genuinely..

Absolutely beautiful drop-top BTW!

Jacks is the only shop I use and feel safe about recommending. Talk to John there...

Look at my nose, grill, shark fin, tail lights, side markers, surrounds, black strip between lights, radiator cover, intake, engine cover, bow ties and gas tank door all painted by jacks....
