Because to spend 1000-1500 on painting all the new panels, I might as well spend that same amount to change the color of the entire car. And it would be easier to resell the body panels if they were unpainted (in my opinion) ...especially the CF hood.

wat i meant was why not just spend the $7-9K to get the color you wanted in real automotive paint? full car paint.

Because if the AutoFlex turned out nicer he could have changed colors 5 times for the same price.

I could not believe what I saw and how bad of a job that was done. Talking about the B-team. Hell it looks like the person or persons that did the job, was their first time the paint anything. I surprised they just didn't use a brush. Hope things get better and sorry to see what happened.
