Smile Another decal removal gone wrong

As many of you know, I wrecked my S last year which resulted in getting the front and rear bumpers replaced and painted and I'm not sure the door was repainted as well. When I took the decals off the car, the front and rear bumper were fine. I did not expect the passenger door to have a big chunk of clear coat taken off. So....does anyone know a REALLY good paint and body shop? I also need to get my passenger fender repainted as well. Last time I had body work done to my car was the place near 2nrwerks which they did an amazing job on josh's car, but did a horribly shitty job on mine. So, once again, if anyone knows of a REALLY good paint and body shop or anything else then please let me know

the .com stickers and the phone numbers were made from a different stock. The main logos should have come off easy. I did have to spend more time on number and website decals

Damm, sorry to hear that!


Mine are off with no problems, used detailer spray to soften them up and then cleaner wax to remove any residue until I can get her a proper bath and and several fresh coats of Zaino for the Dragon Trip.

Kuhn Collision . Although you had the car repainted . I think it will be difficult to match the paint though as if I remeber the paint job on your car is darker than the factory paint is .
