Paint job recommendation

ObiChen · 09-28-2018, 04:40 PM

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a good bodyshop in Toronto to do some paint job and I need some recommendations.

My car is a 18' F82 with individual color called Santorini blue II. Recently it got keyed at rear quarter panel so i went to a shop to fix it. However the result is not very good. They painted my car twice but still can't match the original color and they don't know why so l need to find another shop to do it. Dose anyone have experience with shops that has painted this color successfully? All suggestions will be appreciated!

Curious to know if the first shop reimbursed you? Im facing a similar dilemma albeit with Silverstone II on an e92, and the shop is refusing to do more work or pay my money back.

Also, how about Eurocharged? I’ve heard their bodyman does good work.

That's because they do a better job than the bmw factory.

I use Colorwerks in Barrie north of Toronto, Darcy and his team are amazing. Not cheap but not expensive, prices are totally on par with the work - he’s worked on a couple of my cars and always does an amazing job.

Sorry to hear it bud. I only paid a small portion to cover their labor, not too bad. Hope you can work it out.

definitely only use BMW Certified shops.

My car has only ever been repaired at Budd's for cosmetic work.
