Another benefit - any respray will be better than factory paint.
That is the most reatrded thing I have read all day! when they repaint they are no going to do nearly as good as factory. They will most likely scuff andrepaint on top of your existing paint. Unlike factory where the metal is primered and the paint has something better to stick to. Aftermarket primer will not tick on your OEM paint like it should.

I'm truely sorry to hear abouot this. The factory pearl is a near IMPOSSIBLE to match perfectly. What insurance co. do you have? I hope that they got all the panels because the only way to truely match the color is a FULL respray. Best of Luck.

If a shop knows what they are doing, it will not be a problem. The OEM paint is actually not that great. It looks good but its fragile and chips easily.
Sadly true.

Via my estimating software on my computer. You will get paid ~$1550.00 - your $500.00 Deductable. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO A SHOP YOUR INSURANCE RECOMENDS. They will give you a list in your area. The benefit is they will cover the work for LIFE!

I live in Fairfax, VA but this happened in Rosslyn, VA. I went to China Garden for a dinner party. I came out and my car was messed up, and antenna stolen. =\

I was parked in a parking garage, out of people's way. I parked to this Scion. I'm a pretty good parker, so I made sure he had room to open his passenger door. My other side was a wall.

Ill try to get pictures whenever I get a chance to. You expert detailing guys, what should I do to make it less visible? I have Rio Yellow.
