Default I get to go back to the body shop; AGAIN!

Well I was at school on Thursday night in Midwest City. We got some serious hail and now every panel on my car looks like a block of swiss cheese before you slice it. Took it by a body shop yesterday and they said I'm definitely not a candidate for paintless dent removal. Matt, I'm coming back to see yah And all this a week after I get it back from the shop from that kid backing into me Insurance is covering it thank goodness!

Man, I was worried someone was going to get caught in that! We got some at my apartment, but it wasn't very big and lasted only about a minute. My neighbor just got a new Mugen Civic, and can only imagine how nervous he must have been to hear that hail

No, have the insurance company write you a check for the damage, tell them you'll fix it yourself.
Go back to the body shop, and have them repaint your car your way, use the insurance money to pay the bill. If there's extra cost, you'll have to cover the diff, but it's an easy way to get a custom color change.

I've done that twice so far...Works every time.
