any kinds of silvers are somewhat easy to match because every kind of car has a silver color....

i was worried about my car cuz it was metro gray and metro gray is mazda only.. but somehow it was matched

yeah. i've come to the conclusion that it can be repaired 100% seamless. it just depends on if the shop i take it to is willing to work on it. i think it's getting towed tomorrow.

controlo u should probably just build a garage

that sucks man, i feel for you.

for the repairs talk to a big car dealer, and they have excellent collision centers that do amazing work, and wont quit until it is perfect. i would try that and see what you can find, beware NO BODY WORK is cheap.

good luck to you, hopefully it gets resolved

where is update

Dont' worry about paint fade, a good body shop will blend the new paint into the old paint. Also a good polish, glaze and wax on your existing paint will shine it back up. Your car is still new, it shouldn't be faded very much if at all.

yeah. i was going to take it out of town to get it worked on but there's a body shop in town that seems pretty good. i looked at their work and it looked really good.

they had a silver bmw x5 there, 2006 and it looked perfect.

hopefully they can get it right. they're going to get it right before i take it back. i'm gonna clay it tonight and get it ready for the body shop tomorrow.

hey hyun: i'll post some pics of the work by the end of the week and you guys can tell me what you think.

thanks guys.

I would also suggest a camera installed that watches over your car/s. You can even get a motion sensing one. This way you can tell if its kids in the area or if its a drive by egging.

You can pickup a camera pretty cheap and have it record to your PC.

so here's the update:

i got my car back today. at first glance, it looked very good.

so i went to finally look at it after the sun went down a bit...

i found 2 fisheyes that may be able to be wetsanded out or something, idk. and the way that they took the side skirts off, they gouged the paint. looks like they did it with a screw driver. they're gonna have to fix that.

and they took a small gouge out of the bumper near where it meets the fender. they're gonna need to fix that also.

on top of that, they scratched one of the door sills a bit. they're gonna have to replace that.

they cleaned the interior with shiny stuff. not too big of a deal but still.

and lastly, they left marker on my door from where they marked the position of the side moldings.

the actual repair looks pretty good despite a couple fisheyes, which aren't on the bulk of the door, so maybe they didn't see that.

i can tell they're capable of finishing it correctly, they just haven't yet. i honestly didn't expect anybody to get it right the first time.

it's going back tomorrow. (crosses fingers)

:/

sell the car, buy a horse and a wagon. You'll be much happier

no.

there's no reason why i can't be happy. they're capable of doing it right. they must not have taken me seriously when i said i'd take it back until it's right.

 

[phillyb]

did you go back?

 

[controlo]

i'm gonna take it back tomorrow.

 

[AFcadet]

I wouldnt worry about the paint job to much.

Ive had my previous car get parts repainted 3 times (2 hit and runs and 1 accident) and I could never tell a difference (other then the new parts didnt have any dings on them ). And the places I took the car were regular ol' body shops.

Like I said...don't stress...its what they do all day and every day lol

 

[phillyb]

updates?
am i the only one aside from ^^^ that thinks OP is over-reacting?
you might be anal about this, even meticulous with cleaning your car, but i think you're being borderline insane and completely ridiculous
