Unhappy IS Curse strikes

Well, it happened...I got hit from the side. Someone had backed up into me and rear door is crumbled. Sorry no pic. The door shell will be replaced but the fender around the door will be repair. I'm afraid the new paint color will not match with factory. I'm sure some one here must have painted their 2IS and how did the color turn out? The sad thing is my car is pretty much new, less than 6 months old.

sorry to hear bro... it all depends on who paints the car. i know white pearl is probably the hardest color to match so at least you won't have to worry that much. so whos painting it? the dealer?

It wasn't hit and run. Got all the info exchanged. The body shop will do all the work. Reputable shop with 30 yrs experience. Yeah I hope the color will match, probably my main concern.

Crap. That sucks!

Where are you located in Cali? We have a great body repair and paint guy in SoCal. Matches paint perfectly; he's done a lot of CL members' cars.

I mean, if the other guy is paying...

That's cool.

Just get the car fixed as quickly as possible, so you don't have to worry about it any more.

Good luck!

Dang, that's no fun. Especially with your car only 6 months young. I hope everything works out to your satisfaction!
