    Hey, people

    I am going to have my about 50% of my car painted due to a accident and I would like to know if there is anything special about the paint on a black 07. I have heard lots of things like there is no clear coat and so on. I would like to know if there is anything special that I should tell my collision center before they go to town?

    Thanks

    I have no idea. But obviously the things you wanna make sure is that;

    - The color matches, preferably with Toyota's OEM paint code
    - Their work is guaranteed and they promise to fix any mistakes
    - They've had good customer reviews

    This should help cancel out whether or not there is anything special about the black paint. Take pictures when it's done and show us!

    I know if you only paint 50% of the car, you will always see the differece in color in the other 50%:D:D:D
