My 89 Mustang continued. Car was in perfect condition (usually less than a few scratches and stains) – 14K original miles.
The damage is a fist-sized dent in the hood and a standard in the context of this small.
The experts said they could include the following:
Repair the damage and paint the area that got mixed up. They said they would not repaint the hood at all, only the game, then clear the layer of new paint and the rest of the cover so that the old paint and scratches or stains added. I did not like this idea, because why would I want a transparent layer on top of scratches and stains?
Then they said they could paint the entire hood (estimate $ 1,200 was btw). I thought, ok cool, we do it. They said the only problem is that the color may not match the rest of the car – it could be slightly different (Cabernet Red is the color of my car). They said that was why they paint the area especially in the first place – so they were able to mix the paint. I also do not like. I do not want a red hood mt slightly different color, even black or mixed, as proposed.
What should I do? Tomorrow I’ll call the insurance company. I think they should paint the entire car because it does not restore my car as it was initially.
I do not know how it will work, but I’ll try.
They also said I could the whole car for $ 2,500 minus $ 400 for what would repaint because of damage are covered. Too expensive.
My other option is to call the insurance MA, have an expert come and evaluate and see if they would be willing to paint the whole car when they could not match the color. In this case, I would pay my $ 250 deductible.
Repaint the whole car because of an injury in the hood is not the right thing to do in the original paint is still cost.The best.Standard procedure in a body shop to paint the repaired area and blend in adjacent regions, clear coating of the entire disk, as painter known that suggested.An day is very expensive as yours.It on cars the best and sometimes the only way to not be painted detectable
