Hey guys I am looking for a good paint shop around Knoxville area. My stupid co-worker somehow managed to back his car up and scraped the side of my bumper. Tore all the paint off, so now I need to get it fixed. The only thing I am going to hate is getting the paint to match since it is the pearl white.
It's in Strawberry Plains, but worth the drive. I had our Mazda3 rear bumper repainted there and he did a good job and did it for a great price. Much better than ANYONE in the area quoted and the paint matched perfectly.
I'm taking my I35 there to get the front bumper repainted once I ever get the time.

Oh ok that doesnt sound to bad. Atleast my buddy is going to pay for it. The only thing I am worried about is the matching since it is the pearl paint. I dunno if I will need the whole bumper painted anyways if they can match it really close. Id like for it to be perfect but I doubt it will be possible since the paint is 10 years old and has faded. Arent they able to match your paint on your body now and then make a mixture?
Here a pic of what it looks like now. It not to bad. It will prob need some minor wetsanding but that will be it. The paint has peeled a little and has got a few chunks in it. But the bumper is fine.
Looks basically like what we had fixed on the Mazda3. As far as the paint-matching, I'm no expert, so I'd call and ask him, but IIRC, I thought I remembered him saying (for the Mazda) that they would take the fuel-filler door off, send it to the paint shop, and match the paint from that.
I didn't pay too close attention though as he seemed to know what he was doing, so I felt fairly confident that it'd be done right (and it was).

i've heard Randy's Customs in pigeon forge does really good work. 453-1813. I believe the guy who owns it has a great collection of cars and is very meticulous about the work, he does some high end cars, it maybe pricey.
I'm going to say a good body shop will be able to match your bumper pretty close, but I don't think it will be 100% perfect.

Think he could match it pretty close? About how much do you think it would run? What is your name? JP?

Yes he could match it good,he does our lot cars and we have had quite a few pearls come through on Maximas
I would say roughly 250-300 and i guarantee you couldnt tell it was painted.
