    i have cream white paint on my car.. would that be easy or hard to match??
    i realise it wont be perfect but i wana know how close to perfect i can get so i can mentally prepare myself for a big patch of new paint next to old.

          yeh sorry champ white.

          cheers, prior to getting this car i had a accident where some red p plater turned into my car while i was going straight at 80ks and thus i spun off and hit a pole and she wrote off my car.

            Nice work!! i like the paint!!
            also i noticed your side blinker lights are white, mine are yellow, did you change yours? (mine's a 99model type R, incase yours is newer or something and that's y they're different)

            also how much did all that cost you or the insurance company, do you know the price?

            How much would it cost for me to do a whole body respray?? roughly?

              in regards to the paintless dent removal you did to your car, what process did they use for that?

                Not sure of the total cost but I believe it was over 10 grand, the replaced a lot of parts. I told them up front that I would be the pickiest customer they had.... they took that literally and did everything spot on. Took a LOOOOONNNNGGG time but it was done right.

                Not sure of the paintless dent removal, method, but I have pulled apart the interior and it all looked good.

                  did you have it done through insurance?

                  the paint on my rear bar has come off.. you can now see the yellow undercoat..and it's scraped the tinest bit on the corner.. would the smash repair people replace it or just touch it up?

                    Unless the bumper has serious damage, insurance is likely to want the repairer to repair the bumper and repaint it.

                    Pretty hard to justify a new $700 bumper for a minor scrape...

                      Yellow undercoat ???? Honda doesn't use yellow under coat, take some pics and post em up. Soumd like u have a replacement bumper.

                        sounds like a reconditioned bumper for sure, previously on a yellow dc2r, which would mean the car has been in 1 or more accidents in the past already.......was it private or dealer
