Ok, so the paint on the hood and roof of Diamondshart is terrible. Complete clearcoat failure. I dislike looking at it. The rest of the car is pretty good, though. What would r3v do?
Option 1: DIY paint roof & hood. I've done this before, cheap Omni base/clear, turns out fine. Won't match 100%. Did the hood & sunroof panel on my SPG in 2007 and it still looks good. Bad part here is time & effort involved, which I don't have a lot of these days. Setting up the garage as a paint booth takes time & effort. Cost is probably $100-150 in materials.
Option 2: Maaco special. Right now they have a special for $399. I wouldn't have "OEM BMW paint" on it anymore but at least the car would match. If I did the prep myself I'm not too worried about quality. Significantly less time involved here than #1.
Option 3: Something else? Anybody know of a rattle can that matches DS well? (I have a can of Rustoleum that 95% matches my Saab's metallic paint, so I had to ask). Roller on some flat black? Kill it with fire?
