Default I know you've seen me post about him before...

So, a few months ago I was driving angry, flipped a u-turn, and cut too close to the curb and BANG!! I though I cracked my rim on the curb... nope. It was my rocker panel.

Also, I had my front bumper underside repaired after pulling to close to a curb, and then two days later, did it again

The last straw was getting hit in the parking lot at my school by someone (rear bumper).

I finally got the insurance stuff settled, and went right to Luis to just do everything, the front bumper, rear bumper, and rocker panel so I can turn the car in and move on.

Well, here's what I was talking about, and how he's one of the best in the Bay Area (and MOBILE):

Before:






During:











After:







Again, Luis @ L&M Car Touch Up is AMAZING at what he does. I'll get more pictures of the front bumper and rear bumper before and afters tomorrow.

It took about 12 hours spread out over two days.

Cost for everything (front and rear bumper, and rocker) was in the ballpark of $1k

Yes, it includes primer and paint.

Process? Um.. primer, base, clear?

He digitally matches using factory paints, and then sprays out samples and matches them with his 20+ year experience in automotive painting. He matches to your color, even if it requires more blue, red, green, whatever than what the factory calls for.

I've seen him match Lamborghini Orange Pearl (3 stage paint) 95% on a touch-up panel (didn't spray the whole quarter panel, just half of it) and you couldn't tell unless he pointed out where the SLIGHT differences were. And even those were hard to spot unless you were just a few inches away in direct sun light.
