My 2018 Crystal Black Pearl Civic was hit in the parking lot, one week off the lot. Significant fender damage, so it's being replaced..still in the body shop. Anyone have any experience in getting panels replaced in this color, and how well was the color matched? I'm no expert on judging body work, so any advice or guidance before I look at it and sign the release when finished?

 

usaly the clear cote could take some time to completely dry, so i would suggest not to wax/polish it for 10 days at least.

 

If the Shop is worth anything, they will blend the fender into the door, hood, and possibly bumper to avoid any color match issues.

 

This. Also black is super easy to color match as opposed to some other colors.

Trying to color match yellow makes me cry every time lol.

 

what can i say about me? can't even match black on my old fence! lol
