Forget where the original thread about SWP was, but anyhow...

I've had two panels replaced on my car because people keep hitting my car....

The first one was the rear bumper cover, and the other one is the driver's side front fender.

Both were replaced with OEM plastic and sprayed by Assured Automotive (Oaktown) in Oakville. The color of the rear bumper actually matched better than the OEM piece, and both are very very very close. They did blend my driver's side door to help.

Only in some lighting conditions can you actually see a difference, but OEM cars would have the same difference too. My Opticoat guy couldn't even tell which panels were not original after a weekend of detailing it.

So I don't know If I want to cheap out. Gunna do more research and get a couple more quotes from shops I trust. Any who took a couple pics when I got home for all the people clicking this wanting to see the carnage.
You can't go wrong with European auto body. If you aren't happy with their work I don't think anything will satisfy. One of the best shops in Ontario imo

I would get a quote from 427 Auto Collision: http://www.427autocollision.com

Location: Kipling and Evans

Dealerships within the area recommend it. They also send their vehicles to that location for repairs (customer vehicles). Marino's Group recommends it, I believe Acura Sherway does as well.

I know a few people personally who have sent their vehicles there that were quite pleased with their work. I have not yet needed or used their services personally.

Hey guys so I talked to European auto body again a couple days ago and was happy to hear the guy I spoke to there earlier didn't give me the right quote we didn't talk much. had a good talk with Manuel there and he was real helpful. Price just to paint is gunna be $600 without blending and around 1,100 with blending. Feeling a little happier now.

How did it turn out? I want to take my car there to paint bumper, hood, fenders and a door.

Drill 1/8" holes on both sides and stitch it with 14 or 12 wag solid copper wire. Racecar battle scars.
