I'd contact some good body shops, and get an opinion of someone who's actually had to repair the paint and give tips as to its maintenance.
that's a very good point about internet forums. but, as in the situation with this topic, you don't find all the answers to be the same. so far in this thread....yes. but there are dissenting opinions out there. this is a M3 lovers forum....and you have varying opinions here for sure.

i'm pretty hopeful that i can get some objective assessments here as opposed to Rose colored lenses fair tales.

however, i will contact some body shops to get their take on repairs to this type of paint job and even their opinions on maintenance.

thanks for keepin' it real.
