Hope you work it out.

I'm confused why are you spending half what the cars worth when you can do it for like 15$ in supplies. Paintballs are biodegradable, but can bleach out things and leave marks. With some loving this should come off. Your grill though that does need a repaint as stated.

it made the clear coat bubble & it scratched the paint & dented the whole side of the car, it needs to be painted, some paint ***** are acid based not water soluble, the asstards that did this knew what they were doing.
If you wanna look at my thread then look but if you wanna try to make me feel even shittier then move along.

You guys are like "OMGOSH YOU PAY $400 A MONTH FOR INSURENCE HOW DARE YOU MAKE THEM PAY FOR A QUALITY REPAIR" it really pisses me off, if this was ur car you would want it repaired & you would want quality work.

Quality repair is one thing but there is no insurance company in the world that will pay that claim in full. The adjuster will write the damage sure but I will not go that high.

I have worked in a shop since you were probably not even 10 years old lol. I will bet anything that they are taking advantage of you.

Post the estimate so we can see how they justify the cost?

That really sucks. Some kids egged my Civic a few weeks ago. I now have a 24 hr continuous surveillance camera.

If insurance is paying for the repair, then go to a body shop that you trust. If it were me, I'd paint the car a new shade of green, just to make it stand out.

^ Seriously I don't get what everyone's getting thr panties in a bunch for, I pay $393 a MONTH for insurance, my car got paintballed, it needs a new paint job why can't I go to a shop I like that does amazing work & get it done? I'm not paying for it out of pocket so why can't I get good work done, I don't care what he charges my insurance, but I do care that my paint will look perfect.

Sorry to hear that you're a victim of vandalism. I dislike vandals as much as I dislike thieves, especially when it comes to my own property.

But lets turn this into a positive! You're getting a new paint job!
