Looking spectacular Danny!

I've always been impressed with how well the German finishes hold up over time. It seems like they are indestructible

When I had my Porsche 951 painted, the experienced German body man would only use the Sickkens base and clear coat paint system. It came out phenomenal.


I think the metallic beige/gold color is a repeating theme

Years later when my E46 got pounded in a Wisconsin hail storm (and I thought I was relatively safe up there from hail ) I prevailed upon the insurance company for a real paint repair not PDR and asked the body shop what the factory paint system was because that's what I wanted used on the car. He said it was Sikkens and he had some experience with it and I was glad to hear that brand again because I knew how well it came out in my 951. Here it is on my E46 after painting:



Well, to make a long story short, I highly recommend the Sikkens brand paint system because it is a German factory finish that has done well for me.
