Damage to pearl white car - colour matching

[Laffytaffy]

Hi just wondering, I have a pearl white car and reversed into something which means I will need a new boot door and bumper. I know pearl white is notoriously hard to colour match so when I claim on my insurance, shall I insist on a complete respray or does anyone have any experience of having part of a pearl white car resprayed? Thanks

You expect an insurance company to pay for a full body respray for a damaged boot and plastic bumper?


Good luck.

Good luck getting getting an insurance company to stump up for a full respray!

Especially as it's a no fault claim!

To put your mind at ease, I had some panels on a Lexus CT 200h in Starfire Pearl resprayed at a local body shop and it looks A1.
