Ive always taken mine to the bodyshop bcz of the 3 stage paint. Its very hard to match from what Ive heard. I got my bumper painted in Dec '08 right before they switched over from lead to water based. The shop told me that the water based was gonna be alot harder to colormatch once they were mandated. And he was right, bcz I had more parts painted last year, & they dont match up anywhere as well as the bumper did...

Yeah thats what I would do. Its cost me about $300+ to paint my bumper back in '08, last year it cost me about $1K to have my sideskirts fitted to the car & painted and JDM rear bumper & ext's painted.
