Paint Shop in CFL - Need Bumper Redone

So yesterday my Car went over to AutoSelects to get the clear bra put on. It really needed it. My front bumper is pitted pretty bad and the clear coat has some spots where it lost out to the bugs of Lake Jessup (417 gets me every time). Well it is bad - the clear bra wouldn't stick to the front bumper - and when they tired to take it off - the clear coat started flaking off (you know that scene from Austin Powers with Gold Member … Yeah like big flakes). I am going to take by OI to see if it is an issue with the Clear Coat - but I just want it fixed. So what's the best Paint Shop? I want that bumper done and then I'll get the Clear bra put on.

Thanks

Well I know the one all the other guys are gonna recommend BUT Iv tryed to take my car there 3 times all with appointments and once he kept my car for 3days then called me and said he couldnt get to it for another week so I picked it up and tryed to bring it in the next week were I showed up and he said he was slammed and may not be able to get to it that week, so i called a couple times after that on a monday morning and each time they were too slammed.

His excuse was that he had just recently (2weeks before I tryed to go there) signed with an extra two rental companies and they have been giving him soo much work he cant handle individual clients.

done venting now!!

Da-Bomb who you talking about Orlando Infiniti? Or someone else ... I just called OI about it ... they gave me some line about Auto Butler needing to be put on every 6 months. But then I spoke with a service advisor - Julio, who said to bring it in after 2:00 to have the service manager take a look at it. So I'll let you know ...

Yeah will do ... I'm kind of upset driving it now, the lower bumper looks like cr@99! So I can't have anyone looking below my grill tomorrow! Maybe I will show up in the Jetta ... Naa ... not as fun to drive!

I've had some work done at Colonial Autobody over by the Waterhouse Center and they did good work. They probably have a few different guys that paint though, so not promises that the next job will be as good.

well perhaps repainting black to Richard was so yesterday. I for one think if you catch Richard right he is one of the best around. He made sure my Kenstyle came out perfect

HOnestly because even with such an expensive bumper I felt the look was ...well crappy. It wasnt real CF for the most part. And I think the cf looks only works on certain colors. Like a black car with the cf would look hot
