Paint Shop Recommendations? [GTA] - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Anyone here have a good recommendation for a paint shop in the GTA? I'm looking to purchase a 5axis spoiler which then needs to be painted in Whiteout/SWP and I'd like to make sure it gets done professionally.

My Whiteout got hit while it while it was parked, and I got a fender replaced and paint matched very well. My Opticoat guy was pretty impressed, so much he couldn't tell which fender was replaced.

The place I went to was Assured Oaktown in Oakville (since it was through insurance).

However, I'd also recommend Unibody collision in Mississauga too.

Thanks Drew!

May I ask why you also recommend Unibody? Have you had work done there as well?

Not me personally, but I've seen some cars restored from terrible condition to brand new from their shop.

You can look at some of their work on the Toronto Subaru Club forums (they're a vendor there)

Velocity Auto Body is reasonable priced and should get the colour matched up.
Original Auto Refinishing 416-744-9090 is also very good but there priced quite high and take a lot of time.
Luxury Auto Body in Etobicoke, very good work but also pricey.

I go to 360auto for everything. Chi is my main man when it comes to anything car related.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will contact all of them to find out which ones know how to correctly match with the SWP/Whiteout of this car. I always hear nightmares of people getting the paint to match.

Paint matching is hard sometimes because it really depends on how much your paint has faded on your original car paint. That's why people debadge from day one. So in terms of paint matching, assuming prep work is done properly at all shops, the outcome wouldn't be much different between shop A and shop C. However, depending on the experience, you may find "drips" or other unprofessional imperfections, so always go to one that knows what they're doing!

Good luck Cliu!

I'd recommend CarTech Autobody in Markham. They paint matched a wing for my WRB BRZ and also installed for me. Their pricing is good too.
