Body Color Painted Side Reflectors

[Ch33z3lz]

Not yet, but I'm thinking it'll be a another couple of weeks. Each set is actually costing me $15 (I'm not earning, I'm losing) - but they're being painted by a specialty shop near me that primarily works on exotics. They do the best work I've ever seen and warranty everything they do...

Any updates for us or has the rona stepped in?

Being in South Florida, unfortunately, everything is shut down. Paint shops aren't considered essential businesses. They paint items in several stages and are almost finished - but are held up for the time being. They're a very high-end shop and do great work. It'll be worth the wait...

Updates on our reflectors? Thanks

Updates on our reflectors? Thanks

It's slowly beginning to re-open down here - so I don't expect it'll be much longer. I know the shop wasn't opened last week, but I'll call on Monday and see what's going on. If they're not opened next week, they will be shortly thereafter. But I have a feeling they'll be there...

It looks like they're starting back with limited staff next week. I'm still waiting for a return call from them to get an ETA on the completion of the pieces. Thank you, everyone, for your patience throughout the process...

Okay, they're back to work with a limited staff and are getting ready to move forward. There may be some back and forth on accurately matching the color to perfection and it would be HELPFUL if they could compare their work to a part "in-house" with Federation Orange. Instead of going back and forth to a dealer - if they have a GTS in our area - does ANYONE have a part that's painted in Federation Orange that they've replaced?

For example, some people replace their fuel door with a carbon fiber piece. Does anyone have something like that? Because it would save time if it could be sent/lent to the paint shop for quick and easy in-house comparisons while they get this going...

 

[Ch33z3lz]

It will need to be matched to a metal part because the majority of the reflector sits in a metal panel. The color is different on the car between plastic and metal painted parts and it won't match if they match it to a factory painted plastic part. I'm super impressed they're going to this length though

Any updates? Curious as to why I seem to be the only one chasing this??

They have somebody working on them this week. It took a while to get situated for these sets as they had projects they needed to get finished first. In any event, we should have pictures soon. I've been trying not to pester them too much - but I'll get a status update and hopefully some pictures of progress this week...

I expect great work by these guys. They paint exotics all day long. They have THE MOST picky customers on Earth. Over the years I've been working with these guys on my own paint issues and those I've sent to them, I've never walked in without their being a Rolls Royce Phantom, Lamborghini or Ferrari of one type of another. They're good...

Thanks for doing this Sal! Being artistically challenged, I have a lot of patience for good work and they look great in the picture.

[Kia Stinger]

I'll have them soon and they'll be shipping out on Monday...

 

[Kia Stinger]

Sorry, everyone. The sets are arriving to me today. I'll inspect every piece and have them out ASAP. If I can get them out today, that would be perfect. If not, tomorrow.

 

[BostonGTS]

Awesome! Can't wait.

Nice! Can you take a profile shot of the entire car? Any comments on the assembly process. Sooooo much better than the red reflector.
