Second, what does a paint job have anything to do with that system? Or is this just a coincidence?

It may help to find someone with a piwis and do the diagnostic yourself. I have no idea what the procedure is for programming the airbag system but clearing the light is quite easy.

We have seen this a couple of times when the system has been messed with, for some reason the module loses its coding to the car. Exactly why is not known, but time in the body shops seems to be the common denominator, and as the body shop will nearly always claim innocence, we have not figured out what they did wrong.
