Paint in NYC Area
Hello everybody. I was thinking of buying aan altezza grill from somewhere online, and then painting it SSM to match my car. I was wondering what places I should look into that do a good job for a cheap price. I dunno how much I should be paying since I've never had anything painted before.
If anyone knows any reputable shops or has hook-ups anywhere, please let me know, so I can decided on whether I should buy the grill.
Also, do you guys think I should get the grill and paint it SSM to match, or should I pay more and get the CF grill and leave it alone. Thanx again.
Edit: I live in Queens, so Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island locations are acceptable. I visit my ex-gf in Essex County, NJ pretty often, so I'll consider that also if you know places not too far. Thanx again.

Your local auto store or Pep Boys and ask for a Honda SSM paint. Then buy a can of primer and do it yourself.
I did mine and it looks ok. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 So I'm reviving this thread from the dead in hopes of help again. As for the previous situation of needing to paint an Altezza grill, I ended up buying Allman's painted grill, so I didnt have to worry.
The current issue. I'm interesting in buying a set of steel Z3 fenders. Obviously I'd need to paint and install them. The install, I'm willing to try that myself, but I still need to get them painted SSM. I'm wondering once again, the places you all suggest.
Scott: I called your place and they told me it would cost $250 a fender to paint ($500 total), and if I wanted to blend the doors and hood, I'm looking at around $1200. That seems excessive considering the fenders only cost $100. I couldnt in good conscious pay 10x for paint what I do in materials.
ducksauce: the phone number you have is for some girl, not a shop. I did a search and came up with the following:
West New York Auto Body
(201) 867-9220
418 50th St
West New York, NJ 07093
I tried calling them, but they said I gotta call back in the morning when the boss is there.
Toca: I tried calling Rayco, but they wont give me an estimate over the phone. I guess I'll try and bring it by there when I get a chance. Although I think I blew a shock yesterday, so I'm not sure if I should drive anywhere.
Any additional help is welcomed!!
