All these parts seperately painted. Then the undercarriage, exhaust etc are sprayed with special paint that gives it a fresh look, yet protects from wear and tear. Rims sanded, buffed and repainted. Wheel arches repainted. Engine bay repainted body colour, some opt for black. That's why a pro job does not cost 2 or 3k, but more. Be very careful that the rubber mouldings that should not be removed from the car are not. They should be taped, sealed and protected. They cannot be fixed back with glue etc, but requires replacement. Cost a bomb!The real gila part and most technically challenging, is the sanding....this is the most leceh and the part where most damages take place. So most ordinary shops shy away from such a process. A car that has not been sanded and a car that has.....vast differenceSorry Unker for tumpang...but this is what I learnt from my 3 weeks camp at George's :stupid:</blockquote>
