    Epic BMW re-spray @ 2M Auto Body

    Ok everyone I've finally decided to re-spray my car. After months and months of putting it off for the right time...well...the time is/was now apparently and began last Monday. I have/had a Jet Black 01' 330ci. Paint was in pretty bad condition. The body of the car was fine except the minor ding here and there.

    I was going to re-spray Jet Black (668) but I literally changed my mind on Monday morning. About an hour into tear down of the car, "The Don" himself Marcus walks in and basically convinces me to go Imola Red (405)!

    So here we go...pics will continue through out the process. Cheers

    I just used a little persuasion.

    Dave, I am glad you went with imola instead of jet black. You'll get a lot more comments and questions about the IR than you will about the JB.

    IR is pure win.

    Haven't gotten there yet but since it is flat blk (factory doesn't clear coat engine bay) it really doesn't look too bad.

    So..your plan is to leave it black?

    Also....what does that cost? Ballpark.
