Default Good Paint Shop in South Jersey?

Looking to get TTE Lip Spoiler, Front Bumper, and UGO Roof Spoiler painted, and possibly the side claddings as well. Anyone know a good body shop/paint shop in South Jersey/Philly area that doesn't gouge your eyes out? I went to Lexus of Cherry Hill's body shop today and they want an arm and leg, need to find another shop that does good Lexus work.

Go to Bombka at R&B (215) 313-3747. He's just over the Tacony Bridge....

Smile Went to Bombka's shop...

Went to visit Bombka today (couldn't resist after seeing the pictures), nice guy. I'm probably going to get him to do the work. I also saw his BMW - schweet. Nothing fancy about that shop though.
Also went to Michael's Auto Body on Rt 73. He does great work from what I can see, but not at the custom level of Bombka. Michael gave me a great estimate though.
Thanks again Mark.
Jerry.

Bombka told me he uses BASF Glasurit paint. That's prob the best paint of all, used on Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, etc. Michael's Auto Body uses R-M Diamont, which is also BASF, but a lower cheaper line of paint, their mid grade.

Tacky or not, this guy does incredible work. Both made magazine coverage, so I guess tacky is in......

Apparently **** is the new pink

Those 2 Supras have been the topic of many BS threads over at supraforums.com

The green one was for sale too a while back.

I happen to like the yellow-green Supra., being a Supra owner myself. The red one is a bit much, but you can't argue with the quality of the work....

Just got my car back today from Bombka and Ralph. They did an awesome job with the paint, matches better than the grille & skirts I have that were painted at Sewell. Very pleased with the work, so far (meaning that if anything falls off the car in the next week,...) Car looks great.
