Bump for dateup.

If you ever get into an accident, never trust your insurance company to fix the car properly. Ever. Turns out back in 2005 not only was the car repaired poorly, but rather than trying to match the paint.. they match something 'close enough' and sprayed 1/2-2/3ds of the car with that crap to mask the s**t job.

Needless to say my body guy is taking the painstaking task to heart of properly matching a top coat to blend the rest of the car back to the original WA408G formula rather than just dump white pearl in the mix and hope it comes out kinda right.

Like some shop in '05 did with the poor girl on an insurance funded job.

Out in the sun trying to get the right cover coat match. This is gonna be one big labor bill.
