Well my hail damage is definitely being fixed.

And it looks like the winner is....

MIDNIGHT PURPLE II!

The reason for this is it looks like we're gonna' do a closed door respray so gonna' go with a similar colour to Trigger Mauve so the doors, engine etc. don't look out of place. MPIII looks like it will be a lil too hard and Millenium Jade would require a full re-spray which would cost too much IMO.

Just need to talk to the spray painter now but should be all good! :D

Of course she will be de-badged to go along with it. Still tossing up on whether to spend an extra $500 and go with a Super Wing, hmmm...

By the way, is resale important to you? Because a closed door respray could destroy the resale if the colour doesn't match well. Just something else to consider, if you haven't already.

When the car is sprayed the doors and bonnet are "closed" meaning door jams and stuff are left un-painted.

Not too bothered about the ramifications in terms of re-sale value. When I go to sell it the car will be awesome and someone will kill their brother to buy it off me! :D

Inside the doors, pillars, sills etc is not sprayed.
This makes it a "relatively" straight foward spray job. Or a bit simpler and cheaper if you like.
Good for when the old and new colours are close.

If it was me I'd do inside the doors and leave the engine bay. Just makes it a nicer car to get in and out of, if that makes sense.

just go the 'not-so-dogey-but-still-dodgey' option

spray the outside and the drivers door jambs, then when you hop in/out, BAM full repray ;)
