Denis, I think I would save the loot and have it done right. I had a little accident in my civic and took it to a Low Budget Production (LBP) paint shop and the paint never did look right. It was off and didn't match too well with the rest of the car. Had another accident and took it to the certified honda dudes and it was on point. And the color was black, how could they screw that up! Anyways, if its done right it will help the resell value of your car, and you will be happier over all. You got a nice ride, don't screw it up with an LBP.
