Paint matching

[jbrichmond]

All,

Is blue flame a notoriously tough color to match? Someone backed into my truck this morning and the front of the hood and fender will have to get resprayed. Thanks for any and all help.

Did you get all the dude's info who backed into you or did you just come out to find it hit? If you have the guy's info it shouldn't matter what it costs. Dude should pay all the damages he caused. I don't see OEM paint being difficult to match. Ford deal should be able to give color codes/ samples I would assume.

Okay good deal. And yeah I got all the info and everything, the guy felt like an idiot because my truck was a solid 20+ feet behind him. I got my quote earlier and it was $1418 for parts paint and labor. They are going to spray the front of the hood and onto the passenger side fender. Hopefully it will turn out alright, they can't even work on it until July 9... Oh well.

Hey now don't blame the kids when I am constantly dodging 'older people' trying to do god knows what when driving. Some of us younger guys can drive... but we are a minority...

The newer the truck/the less light fading it has, will make for easier color matching.

Just about one year ago I was driving down the street and someone opened their door and I took it off. It damaged my front fender and mirror. My Raptor was only 2 or 3 months olds. My insurance (his insurance) replaced everything and matched the panit perfect at the shop I use, it cost over 5K to fix. good luck with yours...
