It's your choice to live with. You could even go pink if you wanted to...

I dont know if theres any truth to it but they told me that stock paint is almost like a rubber when its put on and aftermarket paint jobs are never as good and you always run the risk of bubbles and such which they dont just redo if that happens.

No offense or anything, but that means your dealing with a ****ty bodyshop if they dont even think they could do a decent job! Especially if they left bubbles in the paint and didnt fix them!

Go with a good paint company (spies & hecker) sp? will be top quality. I swear mitsu uses paint that maaco would throw away!

Around $4000-$5000 in my area for a good paint job, door jams and all.

wow, for a good full paint job its 2500-3000 around here, or you could spend 250 at maaco and have to go back every year to have it re-painted . youll also get your suspension painted at no charge and youll have a nice two tone paint job every time you pop your hood, trunk and when you open your doors.
