Your car looks to be right around an 04 if im not mistaken. With that kind of deterioration trying to panel match is asking for trouble. Youve got trouble spots on the front & rear and id bet your roof is in simial condition. I understand the cost effectiveness of doing only certain panels, but if youre looking to keep the car long term spending the money now and fixing it right. Will save you money from having to fix things that will go wrong later on. As far as, color match and durability is concerned.

Why not pay the extra 1000 and have the car fitted for life with top of the line stuff?

If it was a show car, yes an extra grand is justifiable. Just because you use medium quality base coat & clear coat paint doesnt mean the end result will look like crap. If prepped correctly and sprayed correctly, and detailed right you can have the lower quality paint look as good as the high dollar stuff. Sure it may not look as good 10-15years from now.
Now if you took it to maaco or econo where they shoot it with enamel/ single stage sure it will not last 2-3 years.

Its an audi with probably over 100k miles on it, they dont last very long. So why blow an extra $1,000.00 for something that may not last 5 years.

I own and operate a small body shop in seminole. I do good quality paintwork for cheap because im trying to build clients right now. Have been doing body and paintwork before i could drive a car! have plenty of experience, I think we can work with your budget on the audi and put a nice bc/cc that will last 5-10 years. PM me if your interested and ill give you my number Thanks- Cory
