However, if you do the repaint, and the body shop is as good as you say, then the match should be perfect.
edit: what happened with the keying incident? Pics?

2. Keying happened in NYC. Unless you followed me up there, Sick, I don't think anyone personally knew me.
3. Factory German paint is definitely hardest and best quality, but Wagonwork and First Choice are both supposed to be superb at paint matching. It will chip more easily, I'm sure, but how much more easily I'm not sure. If I'm paying to have the whole car repainted, I'd do something unconventional and not in my nature (blingy), like have a different colored roof or have racing stripes ala Ford GT done.
4. I do have pics of the keying, I'll post them later.
