i've had mixed results with them. my bumper came out looking really good... but they didn't do other things as discussed. you have to be extremely particular and clear, otherwise it won't get done the way you expect it. everything needs to be in writing to protect yourself.

i also would NOT have opted for spot painting. regardless of whether they clear it or not, how could newer paint not look different than older paint right next to each other? it's pretty basic.

I wouldn't really call that a great job if they scratched your fenders...

car actually would look pretty damn good with a white racing stripe down the side

CF roof, hood, black sides except for a white stripe along the side, similar to the second pic right above the 2 posts above this post..

How is the match of the orange peel with the rest of the car? Can you even tell at all that the car has been re-sprayed? Looks good BTW.

well i went through insurance so paid my ded of $500...and the bill to the insurance came out to about $2100...so ~$2600 total.

The orange peel is not that bad. i would say that the stock paint has about a 1% less of an orange peel effect? Its really hard to tell the difference unless you stare at it from certain angles with certain lighting to tell that theres a diff b/w the two sides. **** ppl like us might be able to tell but hardly. I would say that the match is as good as it can get w/out going to a special shop to buffer/polish out more of the orange peel. Not too sure how true that is though.

If anyone wants to look at the paint job before you go in to have your car done, let me know.
