My Ride: E60 520i
My e60 is sapphire black and it is in a very very bad condition due to not taking care for 2 years....
detailing shop offered me paint restoration that can restore to 90% like new... sounds promising...
but seeing the pictures in the forum..jet black ride looks soo evil
my question is.. if you were me..will u spend on paint restoration... or spend 5x the amount of money to repaint the whole car + getting more evil look

buy a new car and get it in jet black. it will never look the same, even with a repaint. jet black rules!

yes repaint is NEVER as good as factory, no matter how nice and shiny they look for 5 mins after coming out from the body shop.....
