Car gettin repainted.
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.

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.
