Need advice on wreck

Had a wreck 7-26-11 - took to a collision center & the guy is telling me that black is "black" as far as paint goes - My truck is "Black Pearl" according to Toyota. He's telling me they're probably not going to blend the back of the cabin even though they'll replace the whole back fender. He's also telling me they won't blend the right back fender even though they'll get a new tail gate for the truck. Any collision people out there have some advice?

thanks

yeah dont go there.

 

I would go someplace else. If that guy has that attitude with you now, what happens later on if they screw up?

 

kinda the vibe I'm getting, wasn't sure if there was something I didn't know

 

^^ this

Find another place.

 

ive been a painter for 20 years if its a reputal body shop the will have no problem matching black pearl

 

x2 with pick21 !!

 

so,are you saying the blend may not be necessary if they match the "black pearl"?

 

Just walk away dude. If they won't give you what you want, then fuck em.

 

Go to toyotas body shop, they should know what there doing.

 

Your truck color is Black Sand Pearl, it's a very metallic paint. As far as blending, I dont think it is necessary to blend anything if they are only painting the one rear fender (bedside). Blending is done so the paint doesn't look mismatched on corners and lines, but since it is the entire panel, you shouldn't be able to even tell. Every car from the last 20 years or so has a paint code that the body shop just looks up and matches, if this shop says black is just black, he is either messing with you or has no clue what he's talking about.
