Without getting i to the details (because it just gets me pissed), in the past month my car has been hit by idiot parallel parkers twice. Now both my front and rear bumpers need to be replaced or at the very least repainted. Problem is, my car is Mineral White and I know there has been some trouble paint matching. Does anyone know of an expert paint center, that you've had a positive experience with in the NJ area? I think I'm going to take it to Prestige BMWs collision center but figured I ask for recommendations. Brownie points if youve gotten Mineral White repainted with success.

Garage List
Coleman Auto Body in Lawrenceville. Its connected to a Buick/GMC/Caddie dealership, but the body shop is run by BMW fanboys. Just google "Coleman Auto Body" and "BMW" and you'll see what I mean. They've repaired a lot of BMWs on various BMW forums. The former manager TommyG left last year, but other guys are still there... most importantly, the paint guy is still there (or was when i went in last year). He drives a white 6-series.

Anyway, for brownie points... my MW had a small dent and deep scratch behind the front wheel under the side gill, right on a character line. They fixed it up and the paint match and repair are perfect. Can't even tell I had work done. My only complaint is that of three body shops that I got estimates from, they were the most expensive. Also, I asked them to paint some extra reflectors that I had while they were painting the repair and they forgot to.

I take mine to my dealership at Circle BMW. They have a very knowledgeable and BMW body shop certified fellow name Rob Snyder. He'll make sure that you are absolutely satisfied. They don't own the body shop, but they oversee and certify the work.

Great. South Hackensack is pretty close to me so I'll definitely check them out. I don't care about the price I just want it to match perfectly. Now to decide if I take it to C&D or Prestige BMW collision.

C&D for sure. Work is flawless. I haven't been in 6 years (luckily) but I'm sure you'll be happy there. Just google them and Matt casiano, you'll see.

Autobody Contoures in Belford NJ does excellent work and does all of my BMW and Ferrari paint work for me.

Matt at C&D he's beyond the best I've seen his work, I've sent customers to him and if you want it done perfect to oem he's the one.

Robert at Final Touch Collision - West NY, NJ.

is also great but if you have a BMW and what everything to match orange peel etc Matt @ C&D.
