one thing you gotta realise is with that paint... if one panel gets scratched, the whole car has to be resprayed.... so i highly doubt that anyone will insure you at a price that your happy with too

not really, its the way the paint is mixed and applied. you can't just respray a small area, it'll turn out differently, i.e. the light will reflect off differently and you'll get different colours. it'd look like a big stain on the paint.

I don't see why the whole car needs to be resprayed if one part is damaged. Could someone explain the reason why?
Thanks....

it says it above unless you have the exact same mix. it will look different. the light wont change it the same as the other pannels.

Harlequin is one of the colours that changes colour in different light thats why the whole car needs to be painted at the same time.
