Ok, so this schmuck decides to slam on her brakes while turning out... As a result, I ed up my driver's side front bumper and front Fender....

My questions are:

Is there any place where I can find a fender already painted?

If not, the body shop wants to get a new fender from Honda, paint it, then blend it into my door and hood... I am not to crazy about the blending process, so would it be bad to just have the new fender painted, and put on my car without blending it?

The same goes for the front bumper... Will it look bad to just get a new bumper, new front fender, have them painted, then put on the car? I really hate the fact of aftermarket paint on my car...

ALso, who does the best painting in South Florida???

Any help will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks!

BTW: The color of the car is Sebring Silver..

 

you want to get it blended so it looks uniform it will be a little off if you don't blend not horrible

but its up to you i would get it blended

 

edit,,,,,

 

????????? what does that mean???????

 

No, actually, with how easily damaged the factory paint is, a good paint shop will make it almost impossible to notice when they blend correctly and the non-Honda paint will match and be stronger stuff.

 

lol maybes he drunk

 

ttt.. looking for more feedback....

 

There's no question about it. BLEND IT.

Why wouldn't you want your new paint to blend with your existing paint?

My door was hit about a year ago and I had it repainted/blended. My car is Sebring Silver also. I wasn't able to tell the difference. The shop used PGP paint.

 

How bad can it be not being blended?

Very noticeable, or only noticeable to someone who knows what to look for....

 

Noticeable to anyone that can spot color differences.
