I don't see this shop screwing anything up, though. They managed to match a very metallic grey paint on my mom's truck after she was rear-ended (a theme in our house now), they had to replace the entire frame of the truck, including the bed, some suspension bits, and had to paint all of it. The truck drives factory fresh, and actually has less rattles than it did from the factory (LOL, Ford).

And that's my new worry...just repainting a bumper would take MAYBE 2-3 days, but doing unibody work will take much longer...ugh.

Jesus... good luck, metallic can be so hard to match, especially light colors. One of the reasons I love jet black. Hate it for a bunch of other reasons lol. Went over to the body shop today, ill be back in my car tomorrow if all goes well.
