SL55/63/65/R230 AMG: Need painter in Florida. Accident.
#1
![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I got into an accident in January. The car was just returned to me from the body shop at the insurance company recommended. The work was poorly done. The insurance company is willing to allow me to take my car to any other shop. It is a 2006 sl500 black on black. I'm willing to take the car to anyplace in Florida.....I just don't want any more issues. This car cost me over $100,000 when purchased. And I need a shop that is familiar with snd has experience with working on high end cars and owners with high expectations. Actually, I don't think my expectations are that high. I just want the paint to match the rest of the car. So that it doesn't look like it has been hit. It is only the rear bumper. Paint that was done by the insurance companies recommended shop. You can see the repair underneath the bumper, you can see that the texture doesn't match the rest of the car and you can see that there is environmental dust and debris underneath the paint and you cam see they also buffed the car before the paint was dry,and you can see you the paint dripping from the bumper and it dried that way. Please help.

I would recommend going to a large MB Dealer in your vicinity. I seriously doubt they will disappoint you. Let them ahead of time what you expect and you should be fine. Sorry about your accident.

I agree with emericr , go to the bigest mercedes dealer.you will not go wrong there.
I went to mercedes to get some paint work done and they sent me to a shop in town that does all there repairs. It will be perfect when done.
