I have a new BMW that is 9 months old and was worry that the jet black repaint wouldn't blend. Is your repaint for a clear coat paint and how would a pro know the difference?????? I'm also worry of resale value in 3 years.

Thanks on any helpful suggestions.


I didn't have the hood repainted, but I did have a front spoiler, rear spoiler, and the emergency jack covers sprayed. A good paint shop can do it and only a pro could tell the difference, or you since you own the car.

For you folks considering buying a used car, look 3 or 4 times at the paint. A good spray job can be tough to notice!


what is the time lag for repaint since the car was new and did you notice the difference and blending in well with the rest of the body?
