Any recommendations where I can get my front bumper resprayed in Orange County

The rock chips are bothering me. I want to get the front bumper resprayed and then wrapped in a clear bra. Anyone recommend a place in Orange County? What would be a fair price to pay to get it sprayed?

Try Santini in Westminster. They do great work and won't rob you. At least they have never robbed me.

Dude! i had all kinds of rock chips - not just on the bumper but all over the hood on my black cls55. i thought about respraying but for a decent job it will cost a couple grand. i found this guy, Steve Bode in Newport that does touch up paint; except he doesn't use touch up brush or marker - which will end up making your car look worse BTW.

Call this guy! http://www.carpaintchiprepair.com/ he'll come out to where you car is and for $150 will touch up your entire car. he's got this system where he'll paint all your chips and then finish it so that your paint looks awesome. he won't be able to hide the indentations of heavy chips but he'll color match your car and make it so it's virtually impossible to see your chips in direct sunlight. i was very pleased with his work and i'll call him again when my i get more chips.

You can also probably order his product and do it yourself. it looked super easy. here are the steps: wash car, use his touch up paint to fill in all chips with brush (even worked on my clear bra areas), then use special serum with squeegee to smooth out all the touch up spots. All I can say is frickin amazing, i was super skeptical but am now a believer!!!
