Default paint???

I'm getting a new ram air put on my bird and I can either get my bumpers repainted and the whole car buffed, or an entire paint job. Its a big difference in price and I can't decide ! Any suggestions PM me or just add here!

there is a possibilitiy that it might look weird but depending on the painter if he is good at what he does then he can match the paint so it doesn't look off. is the paint on your T/A still glossy or does it look a little cloudy in certain spots?

Its pretty glossy. after thinking it over hard I went with the full paint job because I would have more than likely regreted it in a year

It depends on the color. Usually black will be ok. Other colors should be ok also. Metallics and pearls might depend on the painter, those are the most difficult to color match and spray to match.

Smart, it can be a nightmare if the paint doesn't match. You will see it forever as the owner even if others do not notice.
