paint was cracking==> new paint job

Hey guys. I had some micro-cracking on my hood and front fenders. I think it was heat or age related. Anyway being a perfectionist I couldnt tolerate it so I got them repainted....skinned down to bare metal and repainted with factory paint...I believe Glasurit. What do you think?

No I went to an MB specialty body shop. He uses only factory paint. Let's just say this time around he was doing a full body repaint on a W100 600 limo!! It was completely amazing.

Would you mind disclosing how much you paid for the work and where the shop is located? I'm looking for a body shop to do some repair work on my car and would like to get an idea as to whether the shop you used is in my price range. Thanks.
