New Paint Job!!!!!!!!!!!
Couple off weeks ago i decided to drive the fd to work. Got 5 min down the road and was stoped at a stop light with two cars behind me a land rover and a expidition. A guy drivind a yukon fell asleep hit the ford going 45 the for hit the land rover and the land rover hit me scratched my paint abouve the license plate and put stress cracks in my paint. If i had factory paint it would be a cheap fix but my paint cant be matched so the insurance company has to paint my car im going with the same color here are some pix of it b4 the accident. Sucks to get hit but hey i get a free 5 tousand paint job out of it

the whole idea of custom is doing stuff to your car that you like not what other people like you know ? the fact that no one has rivets on there bodykit is just the reason to keep them plus they look good in person. beside everywere i go its all hondas and acuras who the **** is gonna talk **** bout my car i could have a horn like a rhino coming out the hood and they still could say ****

I highly doubt they are going to paint your whole car. No body shop is going to say they cant match paint that is in that condition. They could get in serious trouble, ie- insurance fraud. They just don't repaint whole cars for rear end damage. Hell, really for anything. BTW, I could match that flake in my garage. Any shop that says they cant match that is full of ****.
I have tried this twice, didn't work either time. Lastime, some ********** keyed the entire side of my FD, from headlight to taillight, so deep that it needed body work. State Farm refused to paint the whole car, the ******* blended up the rear pillars. You really can't tell but still, those ******* should have done the whole thing.

Guys, I hate to say it but sometimes shops can't match the paint and the entire car needs to be repainted.
A couple of my friends got complete paint jobs on their cars for relatively minor damage.
Depends on the color, age, etc of the paint.
