Rear Ended.. Body shop recommendation

[jbenegasi]

I got rear ended at a stop light by my house this evening coming home. Thankfully everyone is fine. I just got this car two months ago though so it's kinda a bummer. Does anyone have any good shop recommendations in the Pittsburgh PA area? I'm worried the paint won't match since it's CQM. I'd imagine it's a difficult color to get right. Also made the mistake of opening the trunk now that damn thing won't close

Any decent body shop should be fine. I have a nardo grey M4. I got my front lip paint matched. The body shop called the dealer and got the paint code and sprayed it. Paint match was 100%. I use to worry and stress about paint matching an individual color. Everything is fine unless the body shop tries too hard or doesn't try or care enough and fudges it up and tries to match it too much in their light setting.

I think you have to use specific year paint codes. I believe the 2015-2017 Austin Yellow and 2018 Austin Yellow is different shade. Side by side you can see the difference.

Plus, you'll need a brand new trunk and rear bumper. These 2 parts will be resprayed so it will match. But the body shop will most likely blend or match the rear bumper and trunk to the rear quarter panels. All in all, pick a good body shop.
