I know the shine you're talking about. When my 300D was hit, I started looking into the different paint options. The shop that had cars looking like that sitting around stated their paint jobs started at ten grand and went up from there. I was looking for something that looked good from 20 feet and kept the car from rusting out from under me (pretty easy in the desert), so I went elsewhere.
