I just recieved back from the body shop my LSi15 that was damaged during shipping. The finish is excellent and has that piano black shine I was hoping for. If any of you have damaged piano black finishes, I highly recommend this fix. Most body shops will do it on the cheap you can hold off until a black car goes through the booth.;)

    Thanks Nota... they sound great. The top rear corner, rearest the camara, was completely crushed, with about an inch of material removed. I rebuilt the corner using body filler and wood shavings, pressing the mixture down into several holes that I drilled into the remaining wood. fortunately the interior space of the cabinet was never compromised.

    The finish on those is great and that is a good idea with waiting until a body shop already has a car to paint.
