Fiberglass/Paint Repair

[twobjshelbys]

The best fiberglass repair place in my home town was the boat place...

That said, for a door you'd be best to repaint the whole door. A good painter an visually blend the door edges so you'll never see it.

But if a golf ball sized check is keeping you from buying it, you should move on. As a seller I wouldn't spend a bunch of money only to have someone come back and say it's unsatisfactory.

Thanks!
As a buyer, I'm thinking that if I handle the expense and level of repair that I could determine what is acceptable or not. Just reduce the vehicle price somewhat to compensate.

Have him file a comprehensive claim for the damage with his insurer (probably has a $500 deductible). Then, if the shop can’t match the paint, they’ll have to paint the whole car.
