Default do you realize that any aftermarket paint job is not the same the the factory paint job no matter ho

I have tried quite a few different places which were considerred to be the top in Toronto. However, non of them can get that mirror shiny look just like the factory paint job. It's close, but it's always not the same....

I almost wish Honda/Acura would do what Mercedes does (or at least used to) - full factory paint jobs. They have certain locations around the country that do a complete paint job, just like they did at the factory. Same process, same machines. All new rubber and trim.

Course, it cost about $5000 back in 1985

I have to agree. My experience is, for the repaint bumper or front lip, they chipped sooooo much easier than factory. this happen to all my cars which were repainted due to accident or some stupid people backing into my cars.
