As cool as frozen paints are - anyone else think they're a fad just waiting to die? Similar to murdered out...played out.

To each his own. Maybe you see this color regularly, but its the first time I see it in person, and there was nothing boring about it for me.

There is no similarity to murdered out. That is a cheap tactic, this is a stunning piece of art. Again, maybe you come across this style every day where you live, but it is pretty rare in Montreal.

In person this is the most stunning colour for the M5 - pictures really do it no justice!

I feel like its pretty common here now - especially since a lot of guys wrap their cars now instead. Looking from a distance I cant tell if its paint or just 3M film.

I did the murdered out thing with my RRS also - got sick of it in 2 weeks.

Seriously though - how difficult is it to repair if you did have an accident?

I find anything silver to be a boring color on cars. Most grays are boring too.

Yes you can, and it's one of the few paint types that I'd really be tempted to wrap in PPF.

Gorgeous - thank god its in Montreal and not the USA, would have been crashed and repaired several times by now and then 'slammed' on Bilstein BS. Oh and of course lots of cheap ebay carbon spliters screwed directly into panels for good measure...

I would have thought more like half that would have been about right for a quality job. No doubt depends on who you take it to though.
