Got in an accident...just need opinions.
I tried making a poll but it's not working...
Well my red hatch was hit by a dumb girl driving a big rental crown victoria and she dented my quarter panel and hit my mirror. The whole rear quarter panel will probably need repainting...my question is.
Should i keep my car red and have the whole thing repainted red or should i go with my old silverstone metallic colour off the s2000. I love the grey colour just not sure if i want to spend money on paint again. What would you do?
Or should i just leave the car stock and just the damage fixed and leave it that, however from personal experience i know that the quarter panel won't match the rest of the car for **** no matter what. New fresh paint will always be shinier than the dull stock red.

No, i don't need colour suggestions. I am pretty set on the s2k colour, i had it before and loved it. BUT
1. sk2 metallic (full colour change)
2. repaint the whole car red.
3. just fix the damage and call it a day

I say repaint to the s2k silver, but only as long as the engine bay and door jambs get painted. I think red engine bays with another exterior are among the tackiest paint jobs ever...just my opinion though. Is her insurance giving you money for the damages?

well insurance will give me money for repainting the quarter panel and i can work out a cash deal with the body shop. It will be a full colour change except the engine bay. I won't paint the bay because it's still a stock motor. I will however paint it black once i pull the motor out for the swap. I didn't really think about painting my car at all, not for a while at least, but now that this happened i will probably go through it to save some money in the long run. door jambs (sp?) will be all painted with the floor, sides, etc.
