Default It finally happened...got rearended

I didn't even leave my neighborhood yet and I get *slightly* rearended by a guy in a benz, probably was late to work. anyways, the damage isn't that bad but the bumper is kind of deformed/scrunched up around the license plate area and there is no way repainting it will fix that.

i want to buy a new 03 rear bumper. my question is, can i get one prepainted in GPW from the honda factory? if so, please give me details.
if not, is GPW an easy color to match? I want it to look perfect, so money is no issue.

btw im in the northern virginia area. there was a paintshop i heard about thats in chantilly or centreville, they do very good work. anyone know the name of that place? any other paintshop suggestions are welcome, i want a high quality paintjob.


thanks in advance.

I think you can get them pre-painted from the factory. It's like $400+ or so. Talk to Hardtop guy and maybe you can get the MY04 rear if you like that Sorry to hear that you got rearended but there is a silver lining here

Honda doesn't sell pre-painted bumpers. I got bodywork done at D&V, excellent work. Color match is almost perfect. I had my right rear 1/4 panel fixed and my sideskirts repainted there. There not cheap but do great work.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope they can match the paint well, have patience because white is actually very hard to match.

Do some legwork. There are body guys out there that can actually make your car look BETTER than it did when it was new. Got my rear bumper replaced and painted....flawless.
