A small "how-to" on chip repair/wetsanding + spring cleaning (black G35) (56k = owie)

Well, there is some comfort in knowing that a good body shop (I believe I've found one) can match my paint very closely when they respray the whole door panel. Only one way to find out, and that's by spending $550.00 .

Also good to know that "spot-ins" can turn out well.
What I'll end up doing is spending the $550 with the body shop (who will dismantle the door and all that), and not the custom flame job buy (who is in the auto paint business, working out of his garage, I presume) who wanted $250 for the spot-in job. Any way you look at it, it's a gamble. I suppose the saying holds: "You have to pay to play."

Yeah, that's usually the case. Though I will say that my "good" painter is also very cheap. Only charges me $35/hour, whereas the other shop I use, the shop that did the minivan spot-in, charges over $100/hour IIRC (hey, they're Porsche/Audi dealership, nothing there is cheap).

Good luck, hope it turns out great.
