Anyone know who could paint my fender vents? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I traded for FR-S fender vents and, without much optimism, tried painting them WRB with a rattle can. They turned out worse than I expected. So now I'm looking for a professional to paint them. I was hoping someone knows of a shop somewhere that has a little unused WRB so it wouldn't cost me as much. Anyone?

I plastidipped mine. Any good paint shop can do it. I would recommend getting some extra plastic clips that go behind in case one breaks. I had one break but had spares. They are cheap as hell from Subaru, like $1 each

Perhaps a Hydro Dip solution exist which could save you some $$$?

If you have any high end dealers (Ferrari, RR, Maserati, etc.) in your area there's a good chance they don't have their own body shop because of the small volume they deal in. However, they often have a need for body work to be done and they can tell you who they use which will probably be the best in the area.

The problem is the only paint place in town won't mix less than a quart and they want $150 for the paint. I'll pay what it takes but if I could find a shop that has some leftover paint that would save me a lot of money.

don't plasti-dip. don't trust cosmetic advice from someone who plastidip their wheels ugly blue and cheap black spoiler :p

I'm not going to plastidip them. I don't like the fender vents and want to make them disappear as much as possible. Wish we had gotten just a normal fender without them.

your looking at $100 or a little less from almost any normal body shop. i know thats around where my pricing would be if someone came in to drop off a pair.
