E53 front bumper skid plate replicas

[Clockwork]

guys, that comment of "rock chips" is REDIC!!!!!
just bring it to a shop and JUST tell them the paint code. do not mention where it gets mounted and if they ask, just say its for your brothers x5 in Florida or Texas and you bought it as a gift and am painting it before his b-day.
I've had mine for over a winter and this winter past was 6 phucking months long with extreme, and I mean phucking extreme -32° C (0°F) constantly and major snowfalls, therefore constantly driving on roads full of rocks. I'll take a phot tonight to show you the condition of my plate.
that fact that no one will paint is really is BS. they do not want the work as it is not worth their time to make a batch of paint of that specific color for such a small part, UNLESS they happened to be doing another Bimmer with the same paint code.

I am very distraught to hear you're still dealing with complications in getting this part finalized for you. Trust me, I had NO idea it would take this long or be so difficult by your local paint shops.
