    Default full paint job or not

    the difference is only 1.5K BUT ... I'm afraid they remove the front and rear windscreen water sealing and I get in the trouble of finding them.

    I'm also afraid of the same thing happening to the side window seals and trims.

    Should or should I not do a full paint for my E31?

    if someone knows a good cheaps source for the sealing parts then it would be awesome.

    thanks

    if all you need is the bumper and related then I wouldnt spend the extra. Lots of extra problems can develope over time with a quality full repaint. A chance of the finish micro cracking is top of the list among the leaks and such. Here in the us they dont remove shit, just tape around stuff, even for an expensive job.

    well I already informed the guy there to tape everything and paint, but i told him too if it wont look good then just paint the front and full wax for the car to look uniformed. let me wait untill they mount on the bumber and lights.
