Yellow C5 needs to be repainted
Please help. Some %^&*(& hits my front wheel and causes some sratches along with "keying" the other side. Since it is yellow, it is difficult to see the scratch mark until you are up close about 3 feet away. It is just one line covering all three panel. The rear panel has clearcoat damage and has not gone to the paint. Should I get it repainted knowing it is difficult to match Mill Yellow and also should I also repainted the panel that just have the clearcoat damage?
Can someone also give me the address or number to Stuarts bodyshop in Plano since I hear they are good. Also how is Frank Parra as a body shop. It seems from my reading the post that it comes down to these two places in DFW area. Please recommend any other places. I love my C5 and just want to get it back to what it was !!!!

You are right, the Mil Yellow color is difficult to get just right. If the body shops you mention are really good, they should be able to give you some advice on what you need to do. I would do whatever it takes to get the car looking good again. Good luck.
