Default Paint Doesn't match

As I feared, after 3 attempts, the Toyota body shop tells me they can't match the paint on the rear bumper to both quarter panels without "blending" both panels (including the undamaged one). This is completely unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.

From what I can see the problem is that the quarter panel and door that they re-painted originally doesn't match. The bumper matches pretty well to the factory painted side of the car.

Does anyone out there know of any top-notch paint shops in Sothern Orange or San Diego county that I can get a second opinion from?

thanks in advance

Where did they get the paint job done?


Try Bay Cities Auto Shop in Harbor City. They do all the work for Carson Toyota...

A marine? Tough to get angry at him considering. I'll bet he was polite when he hit you, sir!

I think I would ask his insurance company to purchase the car from you if they can't make it right. You have a diminished value claim at the least.
