I just finished painting the 2 front fenders of my '86 325e Arctic Blue Metallic. I refused to have some shop do it because they are charging $400-500 just for 2 fenders. It's a standard pricing but for a DIY person like me, that is just too much :D. Since I have little background doing auto paint before, why not just do it myself and invest the money on quality equipments. I didn't have to blend the panels and it came out perfectly match with the old paint. So for those that needs to paint some part of there cars like bumpers, fenders, doors, etc., I will do it for you for a minimal fee. I live in San Fernando Valley so for those living close to me then we can probably do some business and help each other out. I will post a picture of the job I did on my car when I finish buffing it. I'm using Matrix paint system for all the materials, it's good quality. I'm painting in my garage so I can't do big jobs like a full car paint right now, hopefully in the next few months I can open a shop.
