Auto body painted parts

[pkpk]

Hello,

Marital unit backed her vehicle into my vehicle today and ruined both bumper covers.  I found bumper covers to be fairly cheap for ones not painted.  Is there a place in the cities that can paint the bumper covers with proper paint match codes?

Ouch.
Head to Ace Hardware for some bed liner and spray those bumpers up nice.  That's what all the cool kids are doing these days.

Bed liner won't hide the crinkled areas though.

The neighbors would probably complain if you did the full-Arkansas by peeling off the rest of the plastic and bolting  a 2x4 across the bumper struts.  Besides, that just doesn't look right without a washing machine on the front porch as a back drop.

More marital-unit mayhem - the car wash episode resulted in the door coming down on the back of the Jeep.  The place she took the Jeep to have the rear door repaired and painted didn't quite get it right.  Paint is either a shade darker, or they didn't mix in the metal flake or something, but it is off.

Any body shop will paint the covers with proper paint match codes. What is rarer is to get a body shop to paint to match the weather/sun fade of a car's paint or if your paint has pearl of metal in it, to get the same degree of pearl or metal flake in the paint. To do this takes skill, experience and a colorimeter. Most shops just paint the proper code and do not have a colorimeter to get the proper paint tinted to match and/or don't have the experience to get the pearl or metal to match.
