Only 7,500 miles on my '04 and some jack@ss runs a red light and takes out my rear bumper , luckily he just missed my left rear wheel!

Just got it back from the body shop ($3,300) and the interior smells like they left a can of paint in it the entire 2 1/2 weeks it was in the shop. Any idea how to get rid of the paint smell?

 

Leave the top down.

 

well, for what it's worth $3300 sounds like cosmetic damage and your car should drive as good as new

 

The smell will go away after a couple of weeks...

As others have suggested, leave the top down or windows cracked open a little when you park.

 

The paint smell goes away with time, thankfully.

And don't feel too bad - just got MY04 back after 10 weeks in the body shop! Like you, some jackass rear ended me. What made mine so bad was that he sent me up on a curb where I took out a traffic signal! 11k later, and believe it or not, drives and looks as good as new )

 

You can light a candle to get ride of the smell faster. Just be careful.

 

go eat lots of beans and start letting it out in the car with top up and also windows up all the way...the smell of the paint will eventually go away but u gotta get used to the new scent
