my friend sent his to a guy who charged him R 2500 just to rub down and repray and colour match on his E46 M3 Front bumper..

with the coupe an it being low, always a great chance to pick up stone chips..

For excellent panelbeating/spraying go to www.gsab.co.za

Barry resprayed my front bumper, bonnet, rear bumper and side mirrors and the car looked better than new. He has done plenty cars from the guys on www.carforums.co.za and never had an issue.

One day... sigh...

In the mean time, Roberto from Reborto's Autobody does fantastic work, he once fully resprayed a mazda mx6 for us, car had less rattles when it came back then what it went in with, and that was a complete strip down....

Roberto is expensive, but again, when it comes to panel beating, you get what you pay for.

I got a quote for just under 10k to respray front, color code bumpers/sideskirts and fix a nasty dent on the real valance on the E34...

Car looks great, as for the stone chips I have the same problem on my Z3, I was thinking of getting the front end done with VPS paint protection. Not sure how well it works.

I have VPS on the Coupe. I did the respray of most of teh left side, bonnet and bumper due to some damage it got in my garage. But as it came out the panelbeaters i sent it to VPS.

They covered the whole front bumper, you cannot see the edges as its folded around the edges and underneath. Only "seam you can see is where they cat to cut it to pit around the "butress" between the airdan and the brake vent intakes.

The bonnet is a tricky one. I had mapped the stone chips on the bonnet before the respray and decided how high up the bonnet it most go. In retrospect it might be overkill. \

The skirts because they stick out and people scuff them getting in and out. also stone chips.

The rear fenders as they pick up stone chips like bastards. I put VPS over an non-repsprayed chips there and it doesn't look bad. I maybe should have just chip doctored them...

The couldn't do a decent job on the wingmirrors because they curve to much.

I have taken some wicked hits since its been installed and not even a scuff on the film!!! It also seems to cushion teh blows so less chance of small dents.

Areas in red are now covered. It cost R3500 IIRC.

thanks guy, that seems a good option to go after doin the respray..
