damn how much does it usually cost? I got into an accident and the front of my car is darker :/ Its like half maroon and half matador red..The guy told me i won't even notice the difference! But he didn't paint the bracket thing that runs from the front of the car to the back on the side of the windshield so its an easy comparison!

That's a great price! Here in the US for $3K you would be lucky to get the doors painted for that price. Heck I paid $1000 just to have the top of my car painted black.

Thanks for posting those pics. Looks they're prepping for a very thorough job. Do you know if any previously painted areas nooks or crannies will be unreachable? I'm wondering if someone looked closely afterward whether or not they could tell it was repainted. Not that it matters .... just curious how thorough they can be without completely disassembling every little part.

yeah since I paid cash he cut me a deal on the job. I will have to say this is by far the most I have ever taken a car apart that is this new. I do know it is for sure being done right with what I have seen them doing. The entire car has been getting wet sanded this week to prep the door jams for paint this Friday. I will post pictures after the jams have been painted and thank IXI187IXI for the headlight it should be here tomorrow
