And sometimes I wish I had all white... My previous E39 was all black. Now titanium silver, next one will definitely be white.

WOW!!! You have balls...LOL! Just looking at those pics makes me grimmace!!! I have considered a resray but after analyzing my paint I think I'll get near new results after a a polish and buff. Can't wait to see the finished product though. Good luck!

Why would you mess up with your original factory paint?

I KNOW..........I KNOW................ Ive heard it before

the reason for the respray was not just for cosmetic looks but the car had been brushed up on plants and trees on a recent trip through a country road
plus the front bumber and rear was scuffed in some areas, and rather then getting a touch up here there and everywere i deciced to get a full re-spray and in doing so, got the fenders so the finished product will look good.

Also one last thing left to do once i have the car back, i will get the EISENMANN tips and get paul to install them for me, will have pics hopefully b next week.
