reach out to your adjuster.
let them know. I had to take my car back several times, but the whole point of insurance is to make it like before it happened. there may be limitations depending on who you have your policy with, and some insurance companies are worse to work with than others. the couple I have had to have claims with worked with me and got stuff fixed right. |

Insurance is very likely to say it's between you and the shop to figure out, unless you went to one of the insurance's network shops.

I had a similar situation a few years ago, they had to have a paint rep come in and use a camera that could color match and then they blended the paint a foot or two in each direction to ensure it couldn't be seen. I was very happy with the correction.

Most insurance carriers will honor the additional repair IF you went through one of their network shops.
Odds are that you'll have to handle it if you went with a shop of your own choice. If it's a decent shop they should make it right. Yelp and Google Reviews are your friend if they refuse. |

Ultimately it’s between you and the shop.
That color IIRC has a colored primer and a layer of clear under the color coat. I probably have details screwed up but it has four layers vs two and it’s a pain to match. |

Actually, I used the PDR guys the adjuster recommended. No problem with the dent repair, but something is off with that paint in the right light. |

46G is a tri-stage color. It basically starts with a black base oat and then a silver base over that and then cleared. There will be several diffent sets of procedures to spray it depending on the paint system being used. If it's a color match issue, you will need to find a shop that has plenty of experience with it, like a shop at a Mazda dealer. Also, call your local dealer and ask who they send their work to if they don't have a bodyshop in house.

I think the actual color matches, but it is almost like there is too much metallic in the repair VS the surrounding areas. Looks like it was rattle canned in certain light, and looks great in others. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think it was mostly PDR. Insurance will write for PDR because they hope it will be successful. If it's not successful they still owe for a proper repair. A good body shop will put in the supplement for you and handle the adjuster. |

I've had to redo other shops work before and the insurance Co paid for it. |
