MEAN IRISH GUY
Horse-faced space dog
well i came up to staten island this afternoon to visit my parents and to get tattooed tomorrow. as i was coming over the outerbridge i heard a HUGE bang on the side of my car. sounded like someone swung a baseball bat at the side of the car. as soon as i got of the bridge i pulled over before the tolls to inspect. well theres a foot long gash/dent right above my rear passenger wheel well. theres a police station right at the bridge so i went in a spoke to a cop there. they sent a car onto the bridge to check it out. turns out there was a 2 foot long hunk of metal of sorts on the roadway. the cop told me to call on monday and speak to the claims department and that they "were really good with paying out for stuff like this". my question is... the spot that damaged is a HUGE panel. and the car is a few years old so the paint isnt crisp and great like it was before. after the work is done and its repainted i worry it wont match the rst of the car perfectly. do you think the insurance company would cover a full paintjob? i dont have a pic of the damage, but its right above the rear wheel well and you ca see how large that panel is. starts at the door and goes all the way around the top of the doors and such. ive never had to go through insurance for something liek this before, so any insite or suggestions would be great
