But as for painting, I know Harold has a shop that does all of his painting as well as local customer painting. But the problem with that is I think the best painting shops use a machine to scan your cars current paint and then compare it to factory and it determines what it should paint the current piece. Problem would be is that you aren't local so Harold couldn't guarantee how it would turn out. Harold can correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's why places don't paint parts before shipping them. If I were you though I would either just post in your local section(here or E90/m3 post) asking for paint shop recommendations or just check yelp. Hope it helps. |

Hopefully your city is on it:
www.yelp.com Usually the good stuff should have 4.5 stars or better. Don't go below 4 stars and make sure there are a decent number of reviews. |

we don't plan to sell them painted. You can never get the paint to match without having the car there, especially on something this big.

Paint fades variably due to exposure to environmental factors like UV. How could they match your unique variation of DSB over the Internet?

If your body panels were painted in a differnt day or location at the BMW factory than your bumpers or rocker panels...you will notice the color is slightly off. |

Say his car is faded. You're not changing your paint's formula slightly, right? You still use the formula specified by the color code. What you do is to spray over adjacent panels (either entirely or partially) to make it blend in, right? |

You can send in your fuel door, and they can match that. If they are competent.
