Nick, if they are using the correct PPG paint code and using PPG pre mixed paint rather than doing it themselves and the match is poor, you will have to have the bonnet and wing tops blended then all of it lacquered.
Its the only way to do it properly.
If they give you the speil that there paint mix in house is PPG, dont listen to them and go buy the paint yourself, there is a Brown Brothers in Basingstoke that are an official PPG supplier.
This is what they are now suggesting, seems ridiculous but it sounds like I'm going to get a new paint job across the front end..... No stone chips or scratches which will be nice, shame I've missed the summer driving the thing!!
Still no news about the mechanical fault, they suspect throttle body or a sensor but since mine is the contactless and was done only a few years ago I think this may be wrong. Fingers crossed its nothing major, it was ok before the accident, but doubt they'll be able to add that to the claim?
