Good paint shop in OR?

I think I'll be picking up a 99 spec oem bumber for my FD and am not sure who to take it to. I'm looknig for great quality and somewhat resaonable cost. Feel free to pm me with any experiences good or bad.

Thanks!

Thanks. Care to elaborate a little? Have you had work done there? How long have they been around? Any idea what they'd charge to paint a new 99 bumper?
Thanks

I have yet to get work done by them but I have seen their work and have received recommendations from others. I was going to have them do my body kit but then I ended up selling it. I have met the owner, who is a member here, cartapex, and he seems to be a real stand up guy. I plan to have him paint my wheels once the weather gets better. Anyway send him a PM and let him know what you are wanting to do.

I've had a couple of cars into Apex restoration.

They did an awesome job detailing my 91 vert.

A couple years ago they repainted the bumper and mirrors on my 2000 Miata. They did a great job on that as well.

Thanks for the recommendations. I spoke with the person there. He was quite helpful. It sounds like their pricing is about the same as some shops local to me and they would need it a couple days. It would be more convenient to just drop off the skin locally and pick it up later. Apex prefers to have the bumper already mounted on the car as it would be easier to wet sand and buff. makes sense. Decisions decisions.

Kustom Rides. They painted my car, and entered it in the Roadster Show last year and won first place in class. Also placed first at the Historic Races at PIR's Car corral event.
503-489-0891. They are in Rockwood off Burnside. Highly recommend them for body and paint.
