It can and will be fixed!

The nice thing is that with our BLACK Vettes the color match is nill so for the fix and for it to be blended it should be fairly inexpensive

Although the whole hassle of having to get it fixed

Thanks,Matt

Was the owner of the other car you hit pissed? How much is it going to cost to repair the other car and your car?

Now thats bad luck. Sorry. A piece of advice when you have it fixed: blend into the 1/4 panel & remove side molding from door before painting if you have one. Black has many shades so panel to panel matching is not as easy as you would think. I spent 18 years working in a bodyshop by the way. Good luck.

I hate when something like this happens. I've chipped the edges of my doors doing the same thing you did.
Let us know how the repairs turn out.

Thanks everyone. I will get an estimate to see which route I will go. I have other things I will get repaired that some hail did. Nothing too big. I will keep you updated on the costs etc.

I know cleveland pick a part has complete doors in many colors for around $650 I think one from a dealer is around $1200. I have ordered from them several times and they work very well with you on the price.
He has an fleabay store & I can pm you the item # if you are interested.
