Years back I had my 1995 Acura Legend fully painted. The paint was damaged 4 times in 12 months after that new paint job.
1st: 2 months after getting it painted, I got rear ended. Not hard, but enough to crack my rear bumper. Turns out the guy behind me was was hit by someone two cars behind himself, I was third in line to get hit. Was a girl on her phone not paying attention.
2nd: 2 months later. My alarm was going off and my sister did exactly what I told her not to do. She left the car in 1st gear earlier that day with no parking brake and proceeded to hit random buttons on my remote to turn off the car. I told her to leave it in neutral , and put the parking brake on. She remote started the car and it drove 2mph forward into the garage door, then died. Damaged bumper.
3rd: Few months later. Guy working on my electronics on the car decided to key the entire right side of it after I told him it couldn't stay at his shop another month and I needed it back. Body shop felt pretty bad about it since they recommended him to me and they repainted the entire side for nothing, like $300.
4th: 2 months later. I parked 10 spaces away from anyone else at Ralphs in Westminster. For some reason, a douche bag parked right next to me instead of any of the 8 empty spots closer to the store. As I was walking out, he was walking to his truck. I started filming it immediately because I just knew what was going to happen. Yep, he open his door pretty hard and it whacked my passenger side door. I walked up and asked if he always had a habit of doing that and pointed out how I specifically parked away from everyone etc. In a surprise move he apologized and paid to get it fixed ($400-500 to redo the door as it went all the way to metal)
***BONUS***
Moved to TX. Had the Legend shipped to San Antonio straight to a transmission shop because the clutch was going out. The transport driver pulled the Legend off the transport. Problem was, there was a two foot gap between his ramp and the ground. Tore up my front bumper, radiator, undercarriage stuff. He admitted to it, shop witnessed it and it was written down on the invoice that he damaged the car. Guess what? GEICO denied my claim saying it could have been damaged before hand. (even though I took a video of the car before transport and the driver admitted to the damage and we had a pre-ship report with no damage on it). Took 12 months and lawyer to make it right. The odd thing was they didn't even file a claim against the trucking company until I hired a lawyer.
I learned 4 important lessons. 1) If you get your car repainted, it becomes a "hit me" magnet. 2) **** GEICO!! 3) Don't ever put a remote start on a MT car and expect people to listen to instructions. Either don't put the remote on, or never give them the FOB. 4) **** GEICO!!
TLDR: Don't ever get your vehicle a high quality paint job because it becomes an accident magnet.
