Almost 2 years ago I had my hood, front bumper, and headlight covers painted at Downforce. While there was no body damage per say there were years of rock chips to deal with. I remember picking up the car and being so pleased that all the paint chips had been removed. The paint looked great. I remember Peter coming over and telling me he was not happy with the paint match and that the car needed to be repainted. They were just getting ready to move to a new facility, so I suggested waiting until they were situated. Well time has a way of traveling and a lot of time went by. Plus add to that the whole downturn in the economy.
I kept in touch every couple of months and was really not too concerned. Peter has been great to deal with. I never once felt that he would not follow up as promised. Well patience is gold. Recently Peter got his paint booth up and joined forces with Shawn. This guy is amazing. He really knows his stuff. They spent days making sure the paint matched perfectly. We found that various parts of the car had subtle differences in how the color had aged over the last 9 years. I asked them to repair the paint chips in the two fenders but try and save the Superchared by Comptech stickers that I had placed on both fenders. This made it really tough as they would need to color match the hood and the fender but not paint the entire fender. Oh and to make matters worst my color is not just red but the New Formula Red. Well they finished it and it is amazing! I could not be more pleased. The NSX community is lucky to have Peter and Downforce.
So if you need a bumper repainted or for that matter your entire car I would highly recommend Downforce. My car was always taken care of and protected. They kept it covered so I did not have concerns of overspray. I could not be more pleased. Go Peter, Go Shawn
I have enclosed some photos. They painted the entire hood, and part of the fender but clear coated both. Now my decal no longer has rough edges but feels like part of the car. You can no longer get the decal so it was really important to save it, which Shawn did.
This weekend I took my car to Cars and Coffee and parked next to a new Ferrari 430. People told me my paint looked much better than the Ferrari.
