With water. In the age of the original absinthe fever, the drink was always diluted with water and sweetened with sugar before consumption. First, a cube of sugar was placed on a perforated spoon resting on the top of a glass of neat absinthe.
I had a minivan with paint on the hood and roof gone. The Maaco guys quoted ~$500 for their basic probably crappy paint on the whole car. I asked how much for the hood, he said $800 because he would have to match the paint and then apply clearcoat.
Even repainting to the same color will cost minimum $2-3K, and will raise the value of the car $500 TOPS. Save your money and buy a car you like better down the road. A very good, minimal to no flaw (orange peel, etc) paint job from a reputable shop can be had for roughly $1500.
