somebody decided to accelerate at a stupid rate in the pits at irwindale, their wheels were cocked to the side in my cars direction, and wham they ran right into the front drivers fender, then pushing my car into a friends camaro, know my front bumper, fender and his rear bumper need to be replaced and repainted. thats basically it, the reason they are shooting the front and rear of my car and rear fender and door is they are color blending. kind of far but thats what i wanted. and this shop has done many jobs for me, on all of my cars.

if anyone wants their info hit me up, they are undoubtly the best paint shop around. materials they use all 3m, and dupont and ppg, their guys literally have 20 plus years each, they really do great work, for the local benz dealership and bmw and chevy, and if you hit them up for work, tell them i sent you. prices are extremely reasonable, given the amount of work they do.

oh i dont care, im not paying for it the insurance is, and the adjuster that came out was liking my car, he had one too, so he gave the shop a little more than necessary to complete the repairs, 2800 dollars and some change, so needless to say, the car is getting twice the time spent on it, when she comes out she is going to be perfect, every scratch that existed before, i think 3, are gone, so i am very happy with the work and time being spent, its funny you guys mention rain, the car is sitting outside, but its under the owners ez up lol, he knows how i am with my car.
