Default Atomic Orange repair?

Has anyone with an atomic orange car had body work and painting done to it? I just wonder how that went and if you could tell it was repaired. It seems to me the tint coat might add a new level of difficulty.

I have not, but not too long ago a memember from Staten Island NY had his rear-ended. I think the car was fixed and painted either at Kerbeck or someone they recommended. He was very satisfied with the repair. If he's on, he'll chime in.

In any case, try to go for a shop that paints higher end cars. Good Luck with the repairs.

No problems. I'm doing a full Z06 widebody conversion. Paint match is perfect. Everyone thinks it's factory paint.


Any quality body shop should have no problems matching the paint.
