Know any good body shops?
 
After over a year, I'm moving back down to Vancouver at the end of the month and I've got my SS front bumper down there that needs to be painted. Does anyone know of a good body shop that doesn't cost a small fortune?

The one everyone mainly goes to is Kirmac in Coquitlam because Validater works there. Join us on the facebook group and come out to some meets!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I'm in the facebook group from a while back, but I could be wrong. Didn't even think of asking there

Does he happen to do side/cash jobs?

To clarify things, If its a claim, everybody uses Kirmac, we do good work but we're damn expensive.

Cavfire, I can't do paint, and I don't have the ability to do outside of shop side jobs, don't have materials or tools available outside of the shop. I can help out if you have the materials and if I'm not busy.

Ask someone who lives in Richmond. BC

Does the bumper need removal? Does it need bodywork?

If you have it off the car and you want a cheap fast paint job I'd say Maaco, I hate them, but they should be decent with painting something that is already off a car.

And one last post, Our group is "Vancity SS Club" on facebook

Thanks for the tip. It's sitting in my aunt's garage. It just needs the old paint (Rattle can silver from the guy I bought it off) removed but otherwise it's good to go. I'll probably end up sanding it myself since I've heard Maaco does bad prep work

Another good option is a small, family owned single shop company, I'd bet they'd do a good job for cheap.

That's kinda what I was thinking originally but I have no clue about any shops down there as I've only lived down there briefly for school. Any recommendations?

Sorry but I don't know of any small shops that are good.

It's all good. I'm sure someone will. I appreciate the help
