So, the paint on the one MB that your wife has, represents ever single MB made? And they're not words that say "I don't know what I'm talking about", they're words that say "I'm not going to throw out a blanket answer, when I don't know for sure". Essentially, what I was getting it, was the fact that the red on the GP is a simple, 2-stage red. Rather simple for a paint shop to match, even with some fade from age.

The level of skill required to match and fade an MB is far beyond that of a Pontiac. Paint qualities and chemical mixtures are way different. Pontiac is probably a flake-less, candy-less 2-stage paint. I doubt it's anywhere near that simple with an MB. A dent popper and some PDR work should take care of the damage, and the paint work itself shouldn't be too much.

see? ignorant fool.
