[QUOTE="plutoII, post: 703971, member: 14411"] The colour of your vehicle plays an important part in where and how much you shd spend to repray its front end. If its silver or light colour, its much more challenging to "colour match" to other sections of the vehicle. Also, for such colours, its advisable to use the brand of paint system as per your OEM paint. Eg: Take a silver Merc's Palladium Silver or Iridium Silver. For proper touch-ups, its advisable to use BASF Glasurit. If locally made paint systems are used, the silver just doesnt look right and may even be "mottled"/cloudy, and you can easilt see the resprayed areas. For your 325i, if its a dark colour, a great resprayer can give you great results using locally-made basecoat and clearcoat and it'll look great for at least 6yrs or so. But of course, if budget is not a constraint, and you understand the time required to do a great job that'll impress you and your friends, then you can go to a reputable sprayshop and request for an imported brand of paint system. You can PM me for a list of the "top" sprayers in PJ area. [/QUOTE]
