Colormatched mudguards and resprayed bumper at RJ's Paint Shop
Hi,
I'm extremely satisfied with the work that I had done at RJ's Paint Shop in Pleasanton. My BRZ had several rock chips on the front bumper after just 14,500 miles. I wanted to get it repaired. At the same time, I wanted to add something unique to my car which were OEM mudguards but painted the factory color to match. I was afraid after seeing some other shops' work matching SWP (it is a difficult color to match). RJ matched the color very well and painted/installed the OEM mudguards. Here are some pics. Thanks for the suggestion to take my car to RJ's, @PMok and @WheelDude.com. Sean

RJ's Paint Shop repainted my front bumper after another shop that was working on my car damaged it, did a great job with paint match and filling my plate holes and painting my reflectors:

Hi, I had it all done as part of a deal to respray the front bumper and some other work so I don't have the break down. Call RJ...

I'll soon join this "colormatched mudguards @ RJs" clan haha...just after SEMA of course.
I can tell ya'. Think of it as an investment rather than a purchase. Ironically, I saw a couple known local cars there that have trusted RJ with their large investments, customs too OMG. I've been to a few other shops (East Bay) that have far more work (of lesser cars) and yet, no other 86 owner has recommended nor posted their work.
