Paint matching

Post by Ubercool »

Hi Guys,

I have a Silver Golf 6 and I need to spray the rear bumper due to someone running into me and driving off.
The paint is cracked.

My insurance has given me a list of accredited panel shops to take it to and I need to find out who is the best at matching silver paint as in the bumpers need to match the body colour.

This is the list:
Autohaus Panelbeaters - Avantgarde Auto Body Specialists - Greenstone Autobody - Muks Auto Body - Proline Autobody - Proline Express Shop - Renew It - Edenvale - Renew It - Greenstone - Renew It - Randburg - Renew It - Rivonia - Renew It - Sandton - Safana Panelbeaters - Targa Panelbeaters

Your sound advice will me much appreciated.

Thanks.
