Hi all,
I have some questions about paint. I finally get a nice day in Northern VA to drive my NSX to work. I go out to lunch and then stop by the verizon store in Reston. When I come out of the store I find that my NSX has been carved up by some Jerk. I have a dent in my hood in two places and two deep ( all the way to the metal) scratchs down the driver side across the rear wing and then down the passanger side with about four or five scratchs on the front quarter pannel. I am really really pissed ! I called my insurance and it looks like it will be covered with 0 deductable which is good ... I hope. I also called FX CO police and had them take a report but they really can't do much after the fact. Besides if I had caught the person I would have been the one going to jail for assault. Sorry for the rant here are my questions and I will try to post pics if I can. Seeing as how I want the car to keep it's value and I want a good job done what do I need to do or tell the insurance company/ auto body shop? I am worried that the paint will not match but seeing as how they keyed all but the front valance I guess they will need to repaint the whole car? Does anyone know of a good body shop in VA or DC? I have used Chantilly auto body when someone hit my driver side mirror but the insurance company says they are not on their list. Can I pick or does the insurance company have the final say? They said Pohanka Acura is on the list but after the problems I had with them just changing the oil I am a little worried. Aslo any idea what the going rate is on a exact stock paint job (using the same type of paint)? I got to the insurance claims office on Tuesday the 27th so any replys before then would be great. Again sorry for the rant but I am really pissed !
