My Car Got Keyed...

Well my driver side door panel got keyed fairly bad...If I took the panel in to get sanded down and repainted, how well would it match? Its a 2005 satin silver metalic. Sorry if this is a dumb question, im just frustrated...

Normally you would want to have it blended to match the rest of your car but with it being so new I wouldn't be to concerned with the match as long as the shop is I-CAR certified.

Re: My Car Got Keyed...

Sorry to hear.

Silver is actually a relatively hard color to match. A good bodyshop will most likely end up blending the fender as well to hide color discrepancies.

Good luck with your repair.

Re: My Car Got Keyed...

^Wow, that's good to hear. I have this stupid case of mine, trying to deal with the insurance to be on my side. It is such a long process! But, I'm not giving up. Good luck with the paint job!

Re: My Car Got Keyed...

Thank man! Good luck with your insurance company and all that...The process is long indeed. Haven't you been working on the insurance claim for over a month?! I think I remember the accident you were involved in with a suv?
