Question
I have a red 2007 ML35 Infiniti.  I would like to get it painted dark grey and also have the windows tinted dark.  What questions should I ask the autobody place to ascertain their credentials in painting such a car.
Thanks

Answer
MT.....GO to the shop and ask to see what they have ready for delivery for another customer.
This is usually a good indication of the work.

ICAR certification is a plus and paint manufacture schools are good.

Ask the shop if they will be removing the front and back glass and all trim pieces.

Ask what the warranty is.

Changing colors is expensive and usually adds 600-800 to the bill.

Get 3 estimates

Go to mpk global solutions website for more info on certifications and repair process.

Good Luck
