Since my thread got disappeared and no one had looked into it, I've decided to post a formal all in 1 review.
I'll try to keep this as unbiased as I can.
**This is strictly applied to my situation only. I do not guarantee if your job will turn out as good or as bad like mine**
August 2006:
1. Contacted Dion for a quote with Sprayglo to paint my G35 Nismo urethane Front bumper. I've heard good things about them from Brett, so decided to give them a try.
2. Brought my car with my new Nismo bumper up there. Jason quoted me a $300+ for the job. It's a little higher than Dion's quote, but I said okay, as l expect good OEM quality.
3. Dropped off my car with the bumper for test fit, heat treaded, prep work and paint.
4. Picked up after couple days. Paint looks good, match color nicely. This is the pic of the initial paint job, at Forged Performance Grand Opening Day:
5. Talked to Ed, the owner about previous quote given by Dion. Ed was SUPER NICE. He said, since DION gave me the quote, he'll Honor it and took of to about $235 bucks as the final bill.
***PLEASE NOTE: This is after the bumper is done and painted @ the original quote of $300+. It shows you what a great customer service that SprayGlo has.***
6. I later found out that there are rough spots and un painted areas on the sides of the bumper. I gave Ed the call. He told me to bring it back and he'll take care of it.
7. Brought the car back. They took care of it in couple days. The paint looks great afterward. I didn't pay any further attention.
***Fast Forward to 3 months later***
8. This is 90 days after the paint job, which is about right for me to get the car detailed, polished, and waxed.
9. Took the car to the detailer, ask him to detail the car. He shown me the area on the front Driver side has a large piece of orange skins that's not noticable when look at it standing up. He also pointed out the areas on the 2 face ducts hav soome serious bubling and signs of flaking off. He told me to take it back to sprayglo to see if they can fix it.
10. I didn' get the chance to go back to sprayglo until almost 1 month later. But paint keeps getting worse, It flakes and peels horribly.
11. Took it back to sprayglo, Ed and Jason take a look at it. They agreed to pay for the removal and reprep, and I have to pay for the paint, which is another $300 bucks. They claimed that because I scrapped the bottom of the car, that's why the front flakes off due to urethane being not as forgiving as ABS plastic???? This, even though, sound logically, but that's not the case. We see paint bubbling and flaking as well. I used to do 2 year of body work, so I know. But I decided not to argue, and to take my car back, to confirm with other shops.
12. I confirmed with other shops, and they all agreed that the the prep work was VERY POORLY DONE.
13. The paint job was for $300 paint job. I DID NOT expect a show quality, but not a $150 job that Maaco does also.
14. I called back, but they still insisted on it's my fault. I'm the type of guy who doesn't want to argue, so I just let it be whatever.
However, I'm very saddened by the poor job that SprayGlo had done on my front bumper.
My bumper shows uneven areas of prep job, very poorly done, and now, it bubbles, flakes and peels like crazy.
Here's the link to my album with the pics.

If Sprayglo keeps insisted on it's my fault, I will gladly bring my Wingswest Urethane Lip Kit that I did on my accord to them. It got rock chipped and scrapped to hell, and even ripped off my front bumper in an accident, but never once flake or peel.
I was about to go for them for a full quality paint job when I'm ready to attend the show later this year, but seems like that's not the case. I'm a very unbiased guy. I'll reps and keep repping shops who does great quality, such as MSPi and TDF who work flawlessly on my Custom True Dual Exhaust setup.
But for this, I don't think I'll be repping Sprayglo any further.

















but still intact. I can take a pic of my lip if you want...
