Posted October 22, 20168 yr Last week when I went down the parking garage I noticed 2 small tiny dents on my Z left drive door. that really frustrated my whole damn evening. Wanting to keep the Z stunning and clean some fu** a*+hole always has to ruin the cake. Anyhow, I asked the body shop abut how much it would cost to get them done and he said about 175 euros---but he also pointed out that if he re paints that door it usually never looks the same tone of colour when you look it closely on a sunny day. He just wanted to warn me about it. He also pointed out to re spray the whole car someday, but...man he charges 1.700 euros for the whole job including having to remove the rear spoiler etc etc... What I wanted to ask you guys, need advice about should I just fix these 2 small dents? or re spray the entire car? I really feel a bit pulled back about spending 1700 euros when I think my Z is not in bad condition for a complete re-spray. What would you guys do? attaching a actual pic of how the car looks. Thank you folks!! hosting imagenes subir imagenes subir imagenes gratis subefotos
October 22, 20168 yr I cant see the dents mate but that paint looks mint, forget the respray for now. If you can live with them then leave them there, but otherwise a blend will be required and good paint shops can generally get pretty close.
October 22, 20168 yr How about a dent removal company some are really good. 2002 Porsche C2 996 3.6 1991 Nissan 300zx TT Project 1995 Nissan 300zx TT Crashed 🥲 1997 Jaguar XK8 Scraped ☹️

Somehow you got point there Alic:) I think I´ll just stick to fixing these 2 small dents (unfortunately I can´t live seeing those stupid dents there lol)
October 22, 20168 yr How about a dent removal company some are really good. That's interesting, i've seen paintless repairs from some companies and it just looks like magic, but most of the time its with urathane bumpers which they can push back out and buff off.

October 22, 20168 yr What's the weird mark on the paint in the final photo? ...looks just like a door I was asked to detail last week, problem was it has been polished through the clear so can't be fixed. Looks like the car has been detailed at some point as in that last pic with the sun showing, there is no swirls which is unusual. Or a filling type product has been used to hide the defects, the paint on these is usually so soft that they are easily damaged.
