i got hit-HELP!!

Zsteve

we all know this and we are just saying that a billion cars a day get repainted and a few of us here have had our Z repainted already and are telling the OP it will all be good and he wont be able to tell. Even if it wasnt the exact same paint his car was shoot with in the beginning. The way you make it sound that any time a car has to be repainted you need to do the whole car, not so.

It was just a suggestion..from the looks of it at least three panels have been damaged including the quarter..this is a forum so I assumed that all opinions are welcome here..of course I wish the best outcome for the OP...especially since he has a sexy 40th!..and I disagree that evrybody knows this..

..or maybe I'm a lil' ocd..hahaa

Zsteve

we all can get a bit OCD when it comes to expensive things. I just want the OP to know all will turn out ok.

I'm sure all will turn out well..one other thing for the OP to watch out for would be the insurance company..they will try to settle this as cheaply as possible...the impact area is large but not severe...they might try to just pay for a repair of the sheet metal using fillers...make sure u find a shop that will replace the panels..the bodyshop might have to step up to the adjuster for you.

Haha..one other thing for the OP..u can call ur ins com n initiate the claim..take it to any shop u want..your ins company will attemp to subrogate all expenses from the other party including rental, deductible,etc...

No, that is were his covered. His insurance company will declare the value of the repair and get the full amount. He doesn't have to deal with the other insurance company at all.

Correct..read my post above yours...however there can always be issues with coverage..the other partys ins. may not sufficiently cover the pd..ie 5k in pd...ins companies will attemp to subrogate the full amount but this does not happen all the time..I've run across claims were we could not retrieve the deductible..hopefully the OP has umpd to cover any possible lack of coverage from the other party..

Hey guys thanks for all the help. Im calling my insurance company first thing tomorrow and sending the pictures of my damaged car, the eyewitnesses account who saw the whole thing, and all of the other info they need. Since this is a 40th anniversary i will be demanding a brand new dirvers side panel, rear panel thats over the rear wheel, and a brand new bumper, as well as a new side mirror which is all scratched. THANKS TO YOU GUYS...i will also be demanding LOSE OF VALUE in resale too. I am going to call my dealership tomorrow and ask them who they use for body work. Hopefully they will have someone reputable. I will be a HUGE pain in the butt with all of this when it comes to the body work and painting. I am not getting this done the cheap way, i will be asking for references and sitting down with the body shop owner. I have had two previous cars painted and the good shops can get real close and while other shops completely have no idea. I am WORRIED since this is a 40th anniversary special paint color, so i will be putting much emphasis on this when its getting work done. Crossing my fingers for the dealership and insurance company to help me here--THANK YOU GUYS, I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP!!!
