I got my 240 back yesterday from the paint shop... they had it for a week. I took some before and after pictures and posted them on my website.

It was painted the original color with 3 coats of paint and 3 layers of clearcoat, they painted the mirrors and window tape matte black. I'm surprised they could actually paint the mirrors...

It's like a brand-new car... Thank goodness for student loans. :-) The way I look at it is, spending some money to get it painted is still A LOT cheaper than having a car payment.

Here's a link to the before/after pictures:
