shaving emblems?

05Corolla- Heh heh, that`s a good one. Did it cause any hassles when you went to pick it up?

Heh heh, I often have LEOs ask me what the vehicle is when they`re writing up my speeding tickets

To add to this, I once got a parking ticket that said Ford SHO on it!

To fill and spot paint? Wouldn`t surprise me to see it cost between one and two hundred per oval when doing more than one. Then you have to worry about whether or not the shop could blend the paint properly, clear and make the finish match.

It will NEVER, EVER match again. It may be close, but 100% will never happen.

Alex_Perry- maybe it was easier than writing out "Taurus"

Well, *I* wouldn`t say "never, ever", but in my experience a *truly* perfect match will happen maybe once in a few dozen times. People *say* they can do it, people *say* their cars have perfect spot-ins, but in my considerable experience literal perfection is pretty elusive (and the painters I use will agree).

Perhaps you`re right, but I`ve never seen it in my life. I`ve seen some pretty close ones, but never "like it came from the factory". If you`ve got auto body experience or are a seasoned member here, it should be rather easy to detect a paint difference, even the most minute one (like more OP on one panel than the painted one). For me, for the real good jobs, its that one particular angle where it hits you right in the face and its unmistakeable.
