If you spend all kinds of money to make it perfect then you will be scared to drive it. And thats simply no fun. The paint job on my gti would have been around 6k. On the drive home from Texas I got a few rock chips and I was totally ok with that. I didnt want the car to be perfect cause then Id be scared to cause any flaws. Also you gotta think. Its a damn miata. Spend money on things that will make the car more fun. Dont waste money of making the paint flawless.
PS that clear bra stuff sucks and looks like total shit anyways. Never do that.
+ Eleventeebajillion. I found some serious chips in the front end of the m3 and thought very briefly to get it repainted, and then I was like wtf, first time I got on the highway with any freshly painted bumpers ive ever had got wrecked. And what do you think youll be using as a daily once you get out of college? And dont even think about the track if youve got a freshly painted car.
Nobody notices chips and dings when your flying past them on track. :thumbup:
