Update: Minor Damage back from shop *PICS*
Got the car back from the shop finally. Great body work and wonderful paint job. Got new Corvette lettering and new license plate bezel. Overall looks better than before.

Looks as good as new. What car cover are you using? It looks like one I have in my garage. Evolution?

From: Who says "Nothing is impossible" ? I've been doing nothing for years.
Nery nice job I have a coupleof questions:
1) Did they blend the paint in around the damaged area or paint a whole section ?
2) If they blended the paint how did they match the color ? Did they use a computer ?( takes a picture of the paint and comes up with the formula )
3) Can you see where the new paint starts and old paint ends ?
4) I'm also guessing black is easier to match than other colors ?
The reason I am asking is because I want to get a custom hood but I want to make sure I can get it painted to match the rest of the car perfectly.
Thanks

Yep, an easy fix
All it takes is money. I've never really understood why insurance companies jack up the rates on Corvettes because of the fiberglass when, in reality, it is no worse in most cases than metal and better in some.
