Did the body shop just paint the panel that was damaged, or did they have to blend it into the surrounding panels. Does it match up very well? The reason I ask is that my Tahoe is that color and I want to color match some parts on it, but i am afraid that it will not match the rest of the paint being "bleen" and having color changing properties. I have asked this on other forums, and no one was able to give me an answer. D J Real, you're my only hope! LOL

Also, glad you got your car back, can't wait to see the pics.

well they actully just had to re do the clear coat on the panel the lacker was fine. But lucky for you actually i have had to have my front bumber re painted on this car becasue i cracked it and had to get a new one (ran over my neigbors recyleing bin) and ya they had the paint code from gm to match it to the factory paint. I will warn you though to have this painted match cost a **** load. it was like 900 bucks for a new bumber and paint. but ya i get some pics up tommrow maybe as im not at home right now. It matches perfectly like it was never re painted at all.

Cool, thanks. You are the first person, apparently, that has had their bleen painted. I appreciate the feedback, and I love your car!
