You can request for the paint you want.
He recommends Dupont.

He's returned home today. After more than 1 month hibernating in workshop and paintshop, more stock-looking than ever.

 

[BlackCat]

She's looking good!

Are you satisfied with the workmanship and finish?

Best to call up George, make an appointment, drive your car to him and let him take a look bro.

Cheers.

And yes I'm satisfied with the paint job. Waxed before I collect the car, feels as soft as baby's skin. Thin layer of dirt develop within couple of hours. A quick 5-minute cleanup would last for another 3-4 hours before another layer of thin dirt coated him again.

But they did not fix back the co-driver's side door handle properly, unable to open from inside.

Otherwise I have no regrets.

Damage :-
1. RM3k for the full car paint job
2. few hundred for some consumables / loose items.

Satisfaction :- 9.9/10

Some shots in front of my hut before upcoming heavy downpour....

Upcoming small projects 2013 that I could think of currently.....
1. short-shifter + shorter illuminated knob to replace existing stock illuminated stick
2. aFe air filters to replace existing air boxes L+R

Bonnet liner needs attention at the bottom there...

Some fish line can help, just saw on Vixx's car.

Just let him take all his time necessary and I'm confident he could get the job very much well done.

Kenot tahan looking at the pics......Looks brand spanking new bro! :top:

Updated to-do list in first post.

Added - 8. AFE STAGE 2 PRO 5 R AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
Added - 9. Performance exhaust system

 

[seewai]

Radio module BM24 gone after ride's back from paint-shop.
Searched hi-N-low for suitable replacement unit.

1. found a Japan spec C23 - radio frequency mismatched, naturally, but CD changer works - being asked for wow-so-high price.
2. offered a newer BM53 by a fellow OM, but conversion cable will be needed, paid and unit sitting at home, will get the conversion cable for a later project.
3. found an Oceania spec C23, working except no TMC, RDS, TP. Only BM24/BM54 have these features I think, currently installed.
4. all these happened while a car audio shop trying to repair my faulty BM24.

Bro, your baby looks brand new. Haven't got chance to see it live yet.

By the way, which audio shop can fix BMW audio? My amplifier needs fixing too.

 

[e34_lover]

Paint looks awesome! Love the M5, sadly can't afford the road tax lol.

I need to paint my car badly.... Just so much other stuff to do before then :2:

What type of exhaust are you looking at getting?

Bro, the shop is CV in DU, you may already know the place. They will try to repair the BM24 while I found a replacement C23 Oceania spec amp.

Yes I agree with you that paint works should be left done last.

For the exhaust part, I'm still looking while skipping every possible meal. I will need header, midpipe & mufflers. So far I options I found available locally are Eisenmann mufflers and Milltek midpipe+mufflers. As for header, haven't start searching yet. Very likely to happen only in 2013 or 2014.

Now also looking into short shifter + knob...
