very informative thread, thank you.. as i am also looking to do the same treatment to my Swift : )
as for price... i would rather buy a repainted non-accidented car than a trash-looking total genyan one : )
resale price may decrease, but at least you have mental peace now by looking at your shinning car : ) and i think there are very limited number of old total genuine cars now left in the market, otherwise most used cars we see now for resale are showered or repainted and people are slowly starting to learn not to get shocked due to this fact that an old car is repainted as long as it is not accidented... if it looks well, it drives well... then IT IS well : )
