Haha, tough crowd.

You know when you go out to purchase a car and find out it has been repainted? Then you wonder why it has been painted and question the seller if the car been in an accident or whatnot? Repainting the car looks good but people question why; therefore, you don't talk about it and just say it's mint.

"flap their gums" lol, I never heard that one.

I actually feel the opposite. If im going to go a totally different color id rather wrap it then have to yank out the engine and other parts to do it correctly with paint.

To the OP
LBP is and has always been my favorite s2k color and im glad you refreshed the entire exterior of the car with the same exact oem color. The way I look at it the car is 7 years old so a fresh layer of paint in the same color isn't a bad thing. I plan to do the same to mine since its a black ap2..

You must be the type of person that would lie about it and say it is factory paint

Here she is after a 6 hour detailing session and color correction.... you can clearly see the front bumper is slightly off.



Another right before she went in for paint. Notice the front OEM lip with OEM paint is off...



The car is now perfect. Another reason why i wanted to repaint was because of the stupid XM Radio Antenna (Hole) and I wasn't a fan of the OEM Spoiler.
