08' 135i Crimson Red Fresh Paint
The car was starting to show its age a wear so I decided to do a full respray. Big thanks to my good friend Paul for the exceptional work.
Sorry for the pic quality.. Fresh Powder Coat - BMW Silver Finished

I've rubbed the car a few times and it did look very good but I'm picky. I'm well aware of what proper paint correction can do but it was beyond that. At some point before I owned the car it had been in an accident and over time the clear coat had some adhesion issues on the front fascia and hood. For the amount of issues that needed to be fixed, it was just as easy to do a full respray.

You read my mind. I'm planning on getting the fenders, hood, front fascia, sill cladding, mirrors and the front 6 inches of the roof done. I need to let the clear coat cure for about 3 months before I do it though.

Damn, that was some serious work! What did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

That's really not that bad, and looks like they did a good job, though it's hard to tell when not in person

Thanks for sharing. I am considering a respray of the front bumper, fenders and hood.
My place quoted $2244. So you got a good price.

This place just did my trunk. I had two bad scratches on it and they charged $825, but that included a third brake light I had them replace. The finished product was perfect and you can't tell it is different paint then the rest of the car.

I'd rather pay more and have a trusted shop that does perfect work. This isn't a Civic.

I'm not trying to battle you. I bet if you countered with $2k they'd grab ur hand. I've had work done too by good shops.

I love the car but it's an '08 with 155K on it. Good shape mechanically. I appreciate you posting. They gave me a detailed estimate and the front bumper is requiring the most labor. Like I said before the labor has a lot to do with the price. And they just did my trunk and you can't tell it blends perfectly. Perfect repair. Maybe you pay more for better shops.
