Do you just want to just buy the paint and no body work?
Why do you want to buy lookalike but not oem paint?
I'm a bit confused here......

you should try Durans Quality Painting in Baldwin Park. ask for Rico or his daughter Jessica. they do great work, and their prices are very fair. they painted my car and it looks great.

Hey joeshmoeon, how much did they want to charge you to paint and put on your kit? I'm thinking of going there for the same thing and I just wanted to know about how much it'll be. Thanks.

highly doubt it, Ken's prices have been reasonable for the amount of work put into the car. SEMA might back up K&W a lot, shows and races tend to pile a lot of cars there so be sure to ask before he gets busy again.

another C-L member car is being finished there right now

If you want quality and reasonable price with life time warranty on all the work,

Call Kennedy @ Platinum VIP in Irwindale. Many years of experience with Lexus and high end vehicles. He will definitely take good care of your ride.


Call the shop @ 626 472 7847 and stop by for him to do a free estimate. Thanks

ken at k&w painted my other car and it matched perfectly as well. i vouch for them but that was at their old location. when i went back to their new location the price changed drastically so i guess it depends.

GFM is a pearl so it's really hard to match. expect to pay for it.
