Hi,

The other week my car I come out to see my car with this on the right quarter panel.

I've gotten a few quotes but they have said they won't get the colour exact. These quotes are ranging from $770-$1,200. I was wondering if there would be any panel beaters specialized for Holden?

Thanks,

Looks like a VT to VZ....Getting an exact colour match for a car that's been in the weather (that's in and out) for 5 to 10 years is near impossible...The only good way, is a whole respray.

FWIW, differing shades of colour is one way to tell for accident repairs

It's metallic and it will need to be blended into the side of the car .
Most dents in front guards in metallic silver end up getting the front guard and front door sprayed to "blend" the colours
Ask most panel beaters and silver is the worst color to repair due to the metallics in it

The best person to match paints is actually someone that's colourblind funny enough

Even Holden couldnt get the colour match right on their cars.
