Here are just some pics of my car getting repainted at International Autobody. My car got keyed about a month ago and i finally got it in the shop. Johnny has been very cool. Hopefully the end result will be as well.






Of all the body shops i went to, all of them said they would jus sand down the keyed portion and not the whole door and/or panel. Im crossing my fingers that i will not see a line or a noticeable fade.

 

Why did they sprayed over your protective film on the side by the wheel there???

are they going to replace it?

 

I was talking to a few of my autobody friends about this exact issue because there are parts on the car I want to paint but not the whole car itself. They both said that with "spot" paint jobs, you can usually see a fade within a year or two.

 

if vodkarocket is trusting his nice shiny m3 there. i'd trust my G there =)

 

yeah i think the protective covering will have to be replaced. They probably should have taken that off first. I already pointed that out to johnny before i took my car in, he said they'll just replace it, but i guess i should have reminded them again? ...so we'll see.

The m3 project of course doesnt have the problem of paint matching and fading since everything is a fresh coat of paint.

will keep you guys up to date.

 

Your car is in great hands, I was at the shop yesterday checking on another project I have them working on, and started staring at your DD kit. I had the D2 on my G35, but damn your Z1 looks amazing!!!

 

not if they clear coat the entire panel after spot painting.

 

I'm sure everything will come out good. I plan to use International for my car when I'm ready.

 

Where is this place? Is it this one? http://eastbay.citysearch.com/profil...auto_body.html

 

^^^ No. This one is in San Bruno.

 

yup great job on me except they scratched my fenders putting on the bumper

 

Looks good so far. Its good to see body shops actually paint everything other then just the damaged area. Thats a real paint job

 

Thanks! Found this link:

Might as well have them paint the car two tone.

 

Yea leave it as is....i like the nice big racing stripe across it
