C5 Door Repair
My door was just scraped in a minor accident, and I am going to have to get the damage repaired and repainted. I was worried about this since my car color is DBGM, and I've read about how hard it is to find that paint code. The bodyshop I was gonna use, (BFS in Santa Clara, CA) said that won't be a problem since they will make their own to match it.
I'm sure this is very common, but has anyone had experience with this, especially with the DBGM paint color? Just want to make sure it doesn't look mismatched. Attached is an image of the damage. Any other advice is welcome.
Thanks,

Here are a couple of files that contain info that was posted on the forum years ago. They show paint codes for the C5 as well as other years of Corvette.
