    Thanks for putting the pics up! Now I get an idea of what I need to do to prep my car for painting. Looks really good so far.

    Looks like he is doing a good job but i dont understand why a lot of body shops dont take the little effort to take out things like the tail lights and lenses. I personally think its much easier that taping them off and you wont have to worry about the paint peeling back.

    You should definately think about getting the black door and bumper moldings painted the same color as the car.

    Dutchboy : its costing me $1750 wich from ICBC gives me $1608. i had some rust cut out and replaced . and ya you can repaint the roof without repainting the whole car ( let me know if you want to .. i will talk to him about giveing you a great deal )

    1989se-i : that girl is one of the guys GF .. ( personaly she is ok looking ) i'm more into the Asian / Darker skin girls

    89AccordNate , guaynabo89 : Ya man the moldings ARE definatly getting painted

    A20A1 : Its going to be the same as before just a little Lighter
    i can't really do any color change cause ICBC didn't allow it

    RobT5580 : ya man i have no clue why ... but if they don't sprey them and if they like to use alot of tape .. then by all means have fun

    Insurance Company of British Columbia...i think that whats its for..
    its just short for the insurance company,,,stupid scam artists thats what they are...


    accordexi87 : what happened..like what was the accident? and i wouldnt be able to repaint it yet..im not working right now and money is tight...and i have other repair priorities....i was hoping to fix it before the winter but i dont think i can...unless i had the use of a hheated garage.,,,all i need is a new clear coat...i was going to try sanding it down to the paint and then clean it , and clear coat it. again.
