Custom Painted Parts for My RS 3.0

Hello Everyone,

I took some pics of misc. custom painted items for my RS 3.0. All painting was done by Chris @ Garage Shop Customs here in AZ! (Thanks Again Chris!)

The parts inlude AEM CAI, Factory 2004-2006 Scion xB Grill & AudioFormz Sub Enclosure and Amp Rack.

The pictures do not do the part justice!

looks really really nice... excellent job. I think $450's a steal for professional work.

fwiw - www.paintscratch.com has our paint for much cheaper. Envy Green (6UI) is $291/gal

Keep in mind, I didn't buy a full gallon. All of the parts took less than a quart. Materials were about $310.00 and the rest was labor.

Did you buy it directly from the dealership? I'm going to have some parts painted as well and I'm unsure whether to go with Scion for the paint or some aftermarket place.

All the dealers I asked that info from said "we don't mess with any paint other than the touch up bottles".
Your best bet for paint would be your local auto body shop supply store. Make sure you take your paint code with you cause they will ask for it.
