Default Alot of shops won't do it because they have warranty on their work...

I used to work at a bodyshop and my buddy that owns it didn't even want to do mine, just tell them that you want it done with all faults and you understand there is not warranty against chipping and such.

Default Ron C is in CT and had his lowers painted on his A4....

I wish I could remember the name of the shop (it was something odd) but his website is gone. And he was/may still be, rather touchy on painted lower questions because EVERYONE asked about them EVERYDAY for months....

Go someplace else. You don't want them to do it if they don't want to .
