I've got a Silver 2002 Toyota Rav4 and the paint is excellent, looks as new as the day I bought it. Haven't looked at new MB paint jobs, way beyond my budget.
I'll post what I find out from the body shop. If it's just the hood, I'll probably go with this one. If not, the car in Phoenix will be a better deal even though I'll have to travel to get it and pay $5500.
I can't say enough how big a help this forum has been.
