I had my bodywork done by a reputable shop in the DC area. The first thing they had to do was to get Progressive back out there to look at the car since they low-balled the estimate by about $400. The paint is Pearl Black whick is also metallic. They did a great job matching the color, but the only problem is that one can see that there's physically more paint on that side of the car than the other parts. I did have it professionally detailed afterward on the other parts to minimize the difference which helped a lot.

Since it was a hit and run, by law in MD, I only had to pay half the $500 deductible which helped the pain a bit. Hope all turns out okay.
