I had my Celica resprayed around seven years ago when some bugger scratched it on nearly every panel however it cost my insurance £2500 back then and the windows had to come out and I ended up with a new windscreen.

The problem is that the paint was softer than the factory stuff then due to it being treated in a low bake oven and probably they used a cheaper quality paint at the coachworks.
It was one of the top coachworks here in Ayrshire plus it was a black car, so it showed up all the light scratches when washed and dried. Pure nightmare...! Sold it shortly after.

They did a good job on respraying it but it was never the same the paint seemed to chip easier and scratch easier too. Just be careful.
