My old TT had the left quarter blended in after a key job, by a Glasurit trained Painter/shop. And this in a Pearl Blue color. You could not tell even if you knew where to look....Just lucky I guess based on your observations..

Looks great..I don't doubt they did a excellent job for...but its hard to tell the slight differences in finish from a picture.

Let me clarify..unless you have the exact same paint (not just color code) shot from the same gun n baked at the same temperture...its impossible to get a perfect match..manufactures bake the sheet metal at about twice the temp of bodyshops..

we all know this and we are just saying that a billion cars a day get repainted and a few of us here have had our Z repainted already and are telling the OP it will all be good and he wont be able to tell. Even if it wasnt the exact same paint his car was shoot with in the beginning. The way you make it sound that any time a car has to be repainted you need to do the whole car, not so.

It was just a suggestion..from the looks of it at least three panels have been damaged including the quarter..this is a forum so I assumed that all opinions are welcome here..of course I wish the best outcome for the OP...especially since he has a sexy 40th!..and I disagree that evrybody knows this..

we all can get a bit OCD when it comes to expensive things. I just want the OP to know all will turn out ok.

wishihadnav · 05-09-2010, 06:40 PM

I'm sure all will turn out well..one other thing for the OP to watch out for would be the insurance company..they will try to settle this as cheaply as possible...the impact area is large but not severe...they might try to just pay for a repair of the sheet metal using fillers...make sure u find a shop that will replace the panels..the bodyshop might have to step up to the adjuster for you.
