So either have mismatching red tone for a while, or mismatching coloured panels. FUCK.
Ok so you don't get confused
I AM NOT getting some panels painted then do the others later as I said before what is the point of that and if I was to do that it would mean there would be a slight difference in the colour because it is near impossible to get a perfect match, I've worked in a panel and paint shop and seen what would come out ,it would be a close match most of the time but never perfect.

for the money that I will be paying I want the paint to be all the same and match not get it done in sections and have a slight difference which I would notice because it used to be part of my job to notice it.
I'm not wasting money by getting some of the car repaired and resprayed and then later getting the rest done.
I will be getting the WHOLE car resprayed ok

Why not wrap it? Because racecar and all that. Cheaper than painting, and given the amount of mind-changing that has occured previously it might give more flexibility for the future image crises.

Definitely get the mani painted red again.

Oh right. So if you looked at my car you would be able to tell me what panels I had repainted (back in September) because they would be ever so slightly different to the rest of the car?

I thought about wrapping the whole car at one stage but I think I'd just do the roof and I will definetly get the mani repainted.

I reckon I could tell the difference, just make sure your car is all nice and clean at the summer cruise

Fuck the paint colour.

Car should only be a blur while covered in tyre smoke from helis.
