Wow that sucks! Sorry to hear, as well as the other posts in this thread.
People suck!! Honestly has made me debate selling the Vette lately, out of every car ive owned even cars that were worth far more than the Vette this one seems to get fcked with more than any of them. I've found myself barely even driving the car lately because of it. December had the front tire stabbed out downtown, two weeks ago at my girlfriends house by the beach I came out and there were dirty *** muddy foot prints all over the car im sure some drunk *******. Been waiting for the day someone backs into it parallel parking..... Probably will be getting a truck next. Streets here are horrendous! People are ******** and theres so much traffic I can barely even use the power.... Sad too because this was my dream car, and it is by far the most fun car ive ever owned.

So we have a color match. Only took 4 spray outs ti get it right.
so if anyone ever needs a color match for millenium yellow. I can help. The paint code mix that is given is a good place to start. If it's to dark ti match what's on your car take some red out of the formula. If it needs to be more green add more black.
for my car I took out 3 grams of red and added. 02 grams of black over a #2 grey. Not white. Like most people say. Pictures to come

Great you have the skills and were allowed to do the painting. Now, you can be sure it was painted 100% correctly!

So sorry for the damages. I've had my Vettes run over twice by big old trucks backing into me. One dude said it was my fault for driving a small car. Some people.
