Car Painting Advice

So I go to school for 30 minutes to turn in an essay and someone keys the side of my car.

Now it makes me mad that I have to go through insurance again in order to repaint. Hell, I don't even have too, but it would be cheaper to pay the deductible I would think. It was 3 panels

My question is, and my way to maybe benefit from this would be to maybe there is a way I can get them to repaint the whole car? Why?

Well, i've been in an accident before and they repainted the front bumper, My car has gotten keyed before and got repainted on the other side. I have the paperwork from both and maybe there is a way to get them to say the paint isn't going to match and there 3 tones of black on it, I don't know.

Just asking, why not, Anyone know any good shops I can go to? I am going to ReVision once I save up a bit more money. Thanks!

If that's not possible, then oh well I tried. Would be nice though

does the paint match or are you just trying to screw the body shop? most body shops should have a guarantee that it matches.

Yea all the good people that used to work at Revision are gone. The ones that are left are junkies they hired off the street. And the owner of that place is quite a businessman

stop making enemies.

sell ur car and get a kia rondo.

frosh.

and dont go to re:Visions. they suck.

come by the shop stupid and ill ask chuck for a estimate. and he can also give u suggestions on what the best thing to do would be... repainting the whole car is not necessarily the best way to go..... u can spend 3-5K.
