Paint shop CF

Can anyone recommend a good body shop that will paint CF for a fair price? Been calling shops but been getting some high quotes to paint a CF hood. Any help is appreciated thanks!!

what prices are you getting? cf is not an easy material to paint, often times it wont come out perfect and will come out with dimples and have to repaint it. thats why its not cheap and requires a lot of labor.

What constitutes a fair price to you? Do you want it done well or do you just want it done cheap?

I had mine done at Active Auto Body. It was fairly priced to me and the job was great.

FACK THAT ITS ALOT ! go head and search arround , since its a CF and most shop, who doesnt deal w CF material much, still think that a person w a CF body part has a lot of money so they r trying to rip off.
