Another benefit - any respray will be better than factory paint.

I'm truely sorry to hear abouot this. The factory pearl is a near IMPOSSIBLE to match perfectly. What insurance co. do you have? I hope that they got all the panels because the only way to truely match the color is a FULL respray. Best of Luck.

If a shop knows what they are doing, it will not be a problem. The OEM paint is actually not that great. It looks good but its fragile and chips easily.

Via my estimating software on my computer. You will get paid ~$1550.00 - your $500.00 Deductable. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO A SHOP YOUR INSURANCE RECOMENDS. They will give you a list in your area. The benefit is they will cover the work for LIFE!

I live in Fairfax, VA but this happened in Rosslyn, VA. I went to China Garden for a dinner party. I came out and my car was messed up, and antenna stolen. =\
I was parked in a parking garage, out of people's way. I parked to this Scion. I'm a pretty good parker, so I made sure he had room to open his passenger door. My other side was a wall.
Ill try to get pictures whenever I get a chance to. You expert detailing guys, what should I do to make it less visible? I have Rio Yellow.
