I was just going to suggest he invest in a car cover.
That really sucks man. I hear you about stressing on getting a respray that will come out 100%. I've had my speed 3 for a little over three months and had a run in with a RR crossing gate (it's in a weird spot) which scratched my roof, and although it's not horrible it was enough to scratch down to the metal in two spots...I could probably get it 90% corrected without a respray but since the car is so new I decided to shell out $500 out of my deductible and get it redone. Now I'm waiting for my appointment to come up hoping it will be a painless experience but I have to wait until August 21st to get in a shop I trust.
I wrote a letter to the RR company and the town complaining how dangerous that crossing is because there is barely any notification (I think two dings) before the arms come down and if you're making a right turn you could get stuck there before you can get out of the way.

i would buy a car cover but it's too late now, i think. besides that, some people tend to get more pissed off if they can't egg your car and do worse damage instead.
does anybody else have any advice. does anybody know about paint fade? anybody seen a silver car been repaired flawlessly? thanks in advance. i want to hear from some of the people that are crazy about their cars like i am. what would they do if this was their car?
my car hasn't been waxed fully so i'm afraid that might play a part. idk though. it's still pretty new. :/

yeah... i mean, i've seen a couple good jobs but i don't know if i looked hard enough. i can usually tell right away that it's been repainted. fisheyes abound.
i guess i'm on a search. i'm still scared though. i don't want to sell this car, but i will.
it's not going to happen again. i'm parking it in the garage from now on.
that is... if i keep it. if it turns out the way i want it to. (crosses fingers)

i skipped most of teh reading but you should just leave a camera out side if you have tints , place a camera facing outside or something
i am not anal about cars, but i find it utterly ridiculous that you would get rid of the car because it wasn't painted perfectly.
what happens if someone dings your door and the dent can't be popped?
what happens when you get bird s*** on the car and the acid eats the clear coat?
i'm with most people here, stake out, or put a camera out there to find out who the **** is doing this.
1. find them
2. beat them
3. ???????????
4. profit

Sorry about the trouble, I know from personal experience that it is a royal pain to deal with this kind of crap.(rant)
From paint remover, to broken windows, to stolen stereo systems, to even people walking over the top of my car, it has happened to me.(blah)
All you can do is take care of the car like you like to take care of it, there will always be a-holes, and unavoidable idiots. In the end it is just a car, and not worth any jail time, or joining the idiots. In the end, they (the a-holes and idiots), will get what they deserve.(laugh)

i agree with you guys and i appreciate your responses.
i think it is a bit anal to even consider selling the car if the paint doesn't match. i can't change the way i think.
it may seem utterly ridiculous to some, but it's obviously not ridiculous to me.
i don't want to sell the car, but i'm not going to drive around something that doesn't look good while paying 400/mo.
we'll see what happens. i'll post up some pics tomorrow or something.
it's not that i'm getting rid of it because it got egged. but it's been egged twice. our jeep has been egged once. and i'm not talking about inevitable damage here, i.e. bird s***/ rock chips. this didn't happen from driving it.
idk. i love this car to death and i hope they can get the paint right.
i talked to a guy today with a silver zo6 and he said that it can be done, it just might take a few tries. he had aftermarket rear fenders and aftermarket hood painted here in town and it looked very good.
at first, he told me to get it touched up but after talking with him, he told me he's had 3 silver cars have work done here and they all came out well.

because the dealership body shops are all s***.
the last car i took to the dealership had the car in the shop like 10 times. ridiculously bad. you could tell they knew how to paint, they just didn't want to spend the time. i had my front bumper painted. i painted the front grille myself a semi-gloss black color. when i got the car back, the tC emblem i put on the front was missing and the grille looks like it'd been sandblasted.
i'm not worried about whether or not they will color match it. i'm worried whether or not it can be done.
any shop that does work has guarantee's. usually including 100% satisfaction. meaning, they're going to do it until it's right.
i'm trying to get my cheer up here. i want to hear that there is hope.
i'm not really looking for ways to get revenge. if they come knocking on my door, that's a different story.
i'm more worried about my car right now than i am the kids who did it.
