Clear costs 60% more but still affordable

Thanks!!

I will be buying a clean title e46 325i soon, but I'm sure this would come in handy. I have never actually painted a car because all the paint jobs I've seen are trash. I have even been to Sikkens at Akoka to look at their work...and i left very unimpressed. Hope you don't mind sharing location/number or something. Hopefully, their quality still dey kampe

Visited his shop today and had my alloys refurbished.

That guy is damn good though a bit pricey but the outcome was worth every penny.

Thanks once again.

Please shoot
It took me a while to seek for what you required. My brother, I went to places no man has ever been before to look for what you seek...... Hmm.... I searched far and wide, I went through a lot sad. Whew...... I found the answer and you'll be surprised to hear that it cannot be explained but can only be seen and comprehended by oneself. Don't ask me where the serpentine belt is or whether the transfer of power in this car is done through hoses. lipsrsealed You asked for it!
