Default Paint M5 Side Mirrors

Hey guys,

I have a set of NVD M5 side mirrors to paint. Which shops do you recommend in the Los Angeles or Orange County Areas? Within good distance from Cerritos/Long Beach areas would be great.

For the people who have them painted recently, what is their turn around time and how much did they charge you?

Thanks for your help!

Daniel

It's really hard to say but my guess would be anywhere from $100 to $400. Depending on the type of paint they used, labor rate and the quality of work. You could stop by a couple of shops and ask. Chances are they will already have everything and even mix their own paint so the cost could be less since they are gaining full profit off the job. I know if you had to go buy everything yourself you would be looking at ~ $150.00 in materials alone. A lot of the item you can't buy in small qty and you wouldn't need much ao any one thing.

Thanks, Tony. I will take it to a few shops for estimates and go from there.

My thoughts are that the parts are relatively small and if you find a shop in your area I am sure most all of them will do a descent job. You best incling will probably be your gut feeling and if you feel they look a little shady. Just make sure they use a base coat system and not a single stage.
