That's an excellent thread. I have read it.
Man, sucks that something did this to your Mystichrome. Remember that even if the guy is agreeable to get it fixed for your, he wants to avoid going through his insurance and he probably has some dollar figure in his head. If the cost exceeds what he thinks he might have to pay, he might suddenly become not so agreeable. That's when a confession of guilt AND a written promise to pay for all of the expense becomes important. Definitely get a police report done AND have the guy state in writing that he will pay for the repairs, whatever it costs. And that YOU can choose who does the work. You absolutely have to cover your butt with stuff like this. Things can go downhill real quick when money is involved.

I appreciate these responses. I have found a body shop that has done this exact paint job on a cobra before and luckily it was recommended by my insurance co. The neighbor that invited the guy (guy who hit me) has made a claim without telling me. He told them exactly what happened and had a recorded statement saying he is taking the responsibility. He did it because the "guy" that hit me is actually deploying next week. Needless to say, it's being taken care of finally with friendly actions and is already in the system. We have the same insurance co too. So this should be easy. Also, I got an estimate as well. The guy went thru the whole process of completing the job. I feel very confident in his shops skills. Except he couldn't quote me paint price due to it being discontinued. He said he can still create it or whatever that process is. But as far as a new scoop and all the buffing and etc... It's only 270$. He does plan on doing a big area to get the best blend possible. I'll post pictures of end product when it finally goes to the shop.
