That is a tough one. I hear not all body shops know how to match frozen paint. Does your local dealer have a reco?

have you tried just seeing if a wrap could be 99.5% close? Would hate to see the bill for a frozen paint job.

J&B in Mount Vernon. Just going to look at the cars in there is worth it.

That's a bummer, your front lip looks fine tho that's good. Paint match in general is a pain in the ass. Then you have the risk of uneven color. Wrap would be the alternative solution. Gl

Frozen paint isn't really that difficult to match for a body shop. You might also be able to send your bumper to Ind and have them paint it for you. I'm planning on ordering a euro bumper from Ind for my Frozen Red car and have them paint it.

I did contact IND they are charging $1750 for painted bumper. Has anyone used IND before. How is their paint job?
