Z needs help

prochobo · 05-02-2011, 05:37 PM

I'm in Louisville. Reason I wanted the dealer to do it is because of resale value. I recently learned that non-factory painted stuff makes a big difference in resale.

Maybe I just went to a crappy body shop because the appraisers who knew which panels were painted knew because the paint line from the tape was still there.

I might just go the DIY route. $50 and a weekend vs a few hundred without a car during the weekdays. The Z is my DD so I could only bring it in on the weekend, when most shops are closed coincidentally.
