    Hi All - I have pretty awkward dent on my driver side door. I've taken my car to a few body shops (including dealership recommended shops), however I seem to get the same response in that they will have to repaint (I have a blizzard pearl exterior) and cannot guarantee they can complete a factory quality color match.

    Has anyone been in a similar situation with the blizzard pearl that can recommend the work of body shop in the OC area?

    Thanks in advance....

    It would be very hard for a body shop to guarantee a match. They may say it'll match but you'll know once it's all said and done, you'll notice it's not 100% matched.

    If the dent is not that big, you can ask around and see if anybody can do paintless dent removal. Another option is to just find a used door in the exact same color and put it on.
