Lexus Dealer dented my car.
I took my car to the dealer cuz I heared a clicking noise.The strut was loose.So they gave me a loaner car.An IS250 '07.while at the dealer,they dented my rear driver door.The paint chipped off the door molding,the door got gouged up.The car is at a body shop they use.Now I have to worry if the paint is going to match.The car is Black.I have the loaner car since thursday last week.I miss my ride.This IS250 has a hard ride.My ES is much softer.Theis250 handles good.But to hard of a ride for me.

Well. I went to pick up the car.but the paint was too bright.Made the rest of the car look dirty.So I left it .They are going to polish the whole car to make the paint blend in.So I turned in the IS250 and got a ES350 loaner car with 1012 miles.Sweet ride.Makes me want to trade my car in.Will post picture of the car when I get it back. 
check it out.All my pictures are in the same spot.Have to look for a new spot.

the body shop must of done a lazy and sloppy job. your car isn't that old, the paint should of not been that hard to match. but man lexus dealers are just as careless as any other dealers. they scratched one of my OEM wheel. I was pissed, but i was like ***** it, cuz i had my axis set sitting in my garage. i wonder if i take my car in for an alignment will they say anything about my car being dropped?

Black paint does not fade.
Black is *the* easyest paint color to match period.
Especially Toyota B202.
When you get the car back, advise them of this, and to get a bodyshop that doesn't suck hind tit.

This '93 ES uses the "old" B202 without a clear-coat.
It has never spent a day inside, out of the elimants. Has been an outside florida beach car for a decade, and an Alabama car since.
Nothing but heat & sun all it's life.
When my front 1/4 was messed up a bottle of B202 from a Toyota dealer matched to perfection (after like 13 years) after I spent weeks prepping it <- had no prior car painting experiance.
White & black are the two easyest paints to match. They normally require little, to no color blending (just blending to surfaces).
