They backed into me accident. Advice.

[Jnaszty559]

So had an accident and a truck backed up into me. Anyone got any advice and how it would be repaired or replaced. They also damaged my SVE sp2 rim. I Think it’s a sign to sell the car. This is the second time someone hit me unfortunately.

That's not much of a sign there dude. Unless you just want to unload it. Advice for repair is find a good body shop, doesn't everyone have insurance? The wheel should be completely replaced as part of the deal.

Im just worried about how well the color will blend in or look . And yeah I should be getting a whole new wheel replaced.

If you find a quality body shop it will look good as new. and Ford dealers are NOT automatic for good body work. Ask around, look for references.

dude... You haven't been hit thrice AND a semi-truck hit, push, and then run-over your front corner (on camera) yet.

All three of us have bright orange mustangs... how do people not see us??
Sorry to hear OP, I would have a good body shop service your car. A good shop will make sure it blends nicely - then flip the bill on over to the dumbass to pay for it.

And to add to this, find a legit paint shop that DOES NOT do collision/insurance repair work. Their painters are usually burned out and stopped giving a shit about their job long ago.

We have a shop here that was considered the top shop to go to. They do ground up restos and full custom fabrication. The paintwork on vehicles they've done have been flawless.

They recently got into collision work and went down the shitter. I had them paint a new hood for me and they fucked it up twice. Now i need to find someone else to paint it a third time. I considered just saying fuck em and doing a chargeback but i guess I'll just bite the cost and take it as a lesson learned.

Find a good body shop.
I use a locally owned independent shop and have for 25 years. There work is indistinguishable from original and ages perfectly.
The only thing they have not repaired of mine is my Harley. I found a custom paint guy for that.

You are looking at it wrong. You are actually a moving target in bright orange. Might as well have painted it bullseye.

Don't forget to demand a check for diminished value from their insurance company.

Wouldn't they just get one from LMR? lol
