So I came out to my car and found this (wtf) But the person left a note giving there info and saying sorry. So I was not happy, but oh well things happen. I work in a body shop and see it ten times a day, not a big deal.

But then I call her insurance company and they say "we will be right out to take a look at it for you" Then the show up (Nationwide insurance) and say " sir we are sorry but we dont pay for custom paint or body work" so I say "get out of the shop if you dont know what your doing! My car had custom paint and body work before the crash and it will have it after. By law my car needs to be returned back to pre-accident condition" So they say "sorry we dont know anything about that"

So I let a week go by and then call the better business bureau and a lawyer. Then I call the home office of Nationwide in VA and tell them that "I called the better business bureau and got a lawyer because they dont want to fix my car the right and legal way"

So two hours later a New england manager for Nationwide shows up at my work with a blank check and said "how much do you want"




Im writing this so people dont let insurance companys push them over. There is a right way to do things and wrong way to do things.

 

damn kiddo

 

that shop probably didnt want to do it cause they knew they couldnt match the color perfectly.

 

Sorry to hear about the damage but glad to see the way you handled things

 

well played, sir!

 

^sammy G lol im the painter at the shop. The insurance company just dident want to pay that much because it was a small hit.

 

Thank you, I know the right way to fix it. The car looked good before the crash so its going to look good after it.

I was not happy at first but it worked out at the end

 

CS rear FTMFW!!! Get it sice you gotta get a new one anyway

 

what would you charge to paint/ repair that?

5000?
10,000?

 

I need a new one?

Heated up and moulded back in place.



Flexible putty (LORD fusor 114)



Prime and sand for paint.



Black base (blue-to-red in the gun)



All painted




Around 5k

 

glad you finally got that fixed!!
you should have gone aftermarket,
but the OEM rear does look good with the molded
splash guards

cant wait till you paint my G

 

^Ya me to! I was not happy driving it all f**ked up I all most bought the chargspeed rear but I wanted to keep mine because i never see it. Oh and your G will be fun

But here it is with the bumper back on. Oh and my new tires thanks to Nationwide lol

 

sick color on the car, nice new tires too haha

Out of curiosity, what would you charge to paint a car that color from a stock color? Just gauging how much a good after-market paint job runs

 

MORE PICS! "please"
