Pics of a lexus I just finished. I own a body shop in Indy. And I just finished this Lexus GS 400 that was badly damaged from an off road experiance. This is the kind of work I prefoam on vehicles. If anyone in the Indpls area needs body work or paint work, let me know. Enjoy these pics. I worked very hard on this job!

Well the guy was going around a curve on a rainy night and hit some loose gravel from a construction site and the back end got loose on him. He over corrected it and went off the road through some tree's and bushes.
There was not one panel on the car that did not get scratched or dented.
Even the door handles got it.
I managed to save a lot of parts on the car. Even the wing! Yes, I fixed the cracks in the wing and it looks as good as new.
In fact, the owner say the car looks better now than it did when he bought it with 20K miles on it.
I know it's definitely a slicker finish!

When I painted my car a few years ago, I went with top dollar clear and spent 1K on just the paint supplies alone. So it car vary.

Actually, since the insurance paid for it. It will show up on a car fax. But had he paid out of his pocket, there would be no trace of the work done to the car!
