'07 WDP Acura TL Type-S

I got my car almost 6 months ago and I'm in love with it. It had a little less than 61k miles when I bought it from a dealer.



Not much has been done to it besides a full V-LEDs interior, backup lights and DRLs, Hoen foglights, and Weathertech Digital Fit FloorLiners. Plus all maintenance is up to date.

Now I'm looking to respray a blemish on the right front fender, it's not that big but it's a huge eyesore to me since I'm picky and want to get it fixed.





Does anyone have experience with a really good paint shop in San Diego that might be able to match the WDP paint as much as possible? I've gone to some and I've been getting quotes ranging from $300+. Thanks!

Can't really tell much from the picture but if it's just the clear coat, a paint job is unnecessarily. Bring it to a dent removal (Yelp/Craigslist).

The previous owner got a chip and tried to touch up the paint. They ended up sanding too much of the clear and pearl coat.

You've got good taste as well

Very nice 08 you've got there ! Yup I agree, it took me a long time to find a WDP with a mint ebony/silver interior. I'm planning on an A-Spec suspension, 07-08 base lip molded on and getting the rims refinished.

Yeah I've thought about it a lot too. I was thinking new lip > respray bottom scrapes. Our cars are fun to drive, but it kills me that seems like I have the worst luck with rock chips. Just got a new one on the roof this morning

Nice WDP buctl-s! Any chance you can put up some pictures of the WeatherTechs? Been wondering if I should keep my Acura rubber floor mats, or get those.

I love the floorliners, they wrap the sides nicely and they look clean. Here are pics I just took on my lunch with my phone. It's a bit too sunny so the pics are crappy but there you go.





I can get better later when I'm at home if you want.

Great looking car man! I'm just as picky about small dings and dents. I required the dealership to repaint the front bumper of my 07 MRP before I purchased it. I know the feeling when every time you look at your car you'll notice even the smallest flaw and it makes you upset.

Yeah my gf and family think I'm crazy cause I'm sooo picky, they have fun making fun of my picky-ness. I originally wanted to keep all of the OEM paint but can't stand the blemish any longer, so I'm getting it touched up too.
