    I got mines painted at JL Autobody Works off sand island. Ask for Joel at 841-8818. I think he'll just paint it for around $50, but I paid $80 for him to smooth out some dents in the plastic too. Real quality work.. I don't think all places will color match the paint to your car after they mix it up... plus he's ASE certified.

    To be honest, i didn't really shop around much before i got my grill painted, but i'd definitely go back to Joel for more paint work. Nice guy too. He comes highly recommended in the ForumsHawaii forums.

    I finally decided not get it, and get the Lexus style instead. Should be here in a week.

    grill paint

    Hey, i'm from hawaii also and also new to this forum. save your $$$ You can just get
    duplicolor paint from checkers. it's called Duplicolor Auto Spray. I got it in silver. The label says toyota silver. I have a lunar mist corolla s. I know it doesn't match exactly but to me it looks almost the same. I spent only $10 dollars. Also, don't forget to get th clear coat can. Those cans come in 5oz. and cost only $4.39 each....laters...

    thx for the advice everyone. unfortunately, i havent had much time to work w/ recently, so i decided to take it to Joel to work on it. i just got it back today and i must say...he's really good at it :D ...he matched it to the color of the main body even closer than the S kit does :shock: lol.
    btw, tRav, he remembered right away as i mentioned about yours when he asked me how i found out about his place... :)
