    I know there's been threads before but its usually for fenders and small peices. What im looking for is if you've had your car painted before and where and if you would recommend that place. Not looking for some maaco stuff, i want it too be as close to oem as possible.

    Autoworks in Rochester, MN
    Best paintwork in the cities IMHO. Its not cheap, but not unfair either.
    It will be better than OEM subaru paint.

    Will any of these places get me a good deal? I was quoted $2000 to paint the front end of my car. Fenders hood and bumper. I thought that was ridiculous

    thats what im a little worried about. 2000+ for just the front end is way out of my budget.

    just whatever you do don't bow out cheap and go to maaco. Some real abominations come out of that place.

    maaco is only appropriate if your baseline expectation is that it simply all just be one color. Thats about as good as its going o get.

    S3 Auto in Loretto. Very high quality work.

    Otherwise I know Pra4sno had his RS done at maaco. the car turned out pretty dang good if you ask me. he did all of the prep work himself and just had them spray it. I think it helps if you give the guy painting you car alittle extra $ on the side.

    ill do your front end for 800

    break down would be

    150 per fender
    200 for bumper
    300 for hood

    it would all come with warranty which covers anything that occurs due to poor workmanship including bubbling, peeling, and any lifting.

    +1 but they are pricey. Especially for Bimmer paint :(

    approximately yes.

    i can have your hood PDR'd prior to painting for small fee.
