[s-cars] Paint woes

[Lee Levitt]

If it makes you feel any better I had a similar issue when we had my wife's
pearl metallic wagon fixed. RF fender and door needed work. Right rear door
had a very minor door ding in it. To blend the paint they painted that door
along with the two damaged panels, right over the ding. If I had known then
I would have offered to pay the extra $ to have the ding fixed.

Doh.

I guess you go through this once, huh?

Of course, on my car, once I have an excuse to paint a panel or two, the
whole thing's going to get done...door dings and all :)
