When are you getting this paint job done, let's go together, and have the shop guy give us a buy one paint job, get one free deal.

Hah I can point you to a reputable shop, but I'm in line first! I'll let you know if they are willing to spray another car, and give you a price on it, if you're serious PM me. The guys are quality painters & bodymen...I'll let them know.

I'm going to speak to a BMW shop nearby today to confirm this before I get it painted.

Two men sharing a paint job is like two men sharing a shower.

Shouldn't the body shop know [or be able to find out] what paint to use on the trim?

Um, I guess I should mention that its one painter, one bodyman working on my car, not at the same time obviously.

And I just want to be 100% sure that they choose the correct paint. I just like to be OCD like that.

So I called the most reputable BMW shop in the area and he said:

"No, that is the plastic color comes out after being made" or something to that effect. Does that make any sense? Plastic must be black when it is made...I dunno fuck it.

they actually do paint some of it. I just got new wiper grille covers, they aren't bare plastic.

As did I, oddly enough. I should post up the RHD version for the mono-wiper thread, thanks for the reminder.

EDIT: Oh and Nando, you got the car repainted, what did they use?
