There's a shop here in Metro ATL (about 5 miles from Forged) that I'd highly recommend. The place is Magnum Collision.

Wow... Any pics of the damage? Sounds kinda high for only paint damage.

They do good work for sure and are very particular so I would expect them to be a bit higher than some.

IP37

yea i figured they would be kinda high

Doesn't look that bad... Definitely not nearly 1k worth. I'll ask around some people here in Atlanta and see if I get any other good recommendations.

i might just let this local place do it.. their shop doesn't look the greatest, but they've painted this color before.. talked to him today and the guy said he was surprised how well it blended

if you remember the white g35 i was with at forged, he painted his rear bumper. they quoted me 554.20
