Colors on Parade

I recently scratched my left front corner on a curb...and I went to a professional body shop... they say they'll charge me $600 dollars , that scared me away. But I've been searching online the whole day today and found this http://www.colorsonparadeoc.com/index.html
Has anybody experienced their services ?
Would you recommend ?
Is it reliable ? Is it affordable ?

Looks like a Maaco type operation. Sure they'll have your bumper painted and ready in the same day, but chances are it's gonna start chipping and fading in a year or two. I suggest posting in the West Cost Forum http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=17 ask around for some good body shops that will give you a reasonable price. Good luck

You have got to be kidding me! Are these guys for real!?!?!? For God's sake, they paint right outside in your front driveway. What's to prevent dust from settling on the new paint job. BTW, in the upper left hand corner, they have two videos available for your viewing pleasure, one of them "removing scratches" and the other of them painting a bumper.

Seriously, though... I wouldn't trust my car to them. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Must be a chain. There's one here in Honolulu. I've had a scratch on my bumper taken out and the clearcoat redone on my girl's 350z hood. EXcellent work both times.
However the work was not done in a booth so there was some over spray both times. Nothing a little claybar couldn't take care of though.

I would spend the extra $$ and have it done at a reputable body shop. Just my $0.02..I've had too many instances of "you get what you pay for"

Don't run into a curb next time.
