Hey guys, well i was paying for my food in mcdnalds and some lady press the wrong pedal and rear ended me in my Diamond Graphite coupe.. It's no problem to fix it because i got a police report and their insurance is going to pay for everything.. MY worries are that whenever they do change the bumper and repaint it, will the color match? I heard that it's really hard to match the diamond Graphite paint. Any ideas? I live Close to Jacksonville.

If the car and finish are new, they should match it nicely...It's when the car finish has been exposed to the elements for awhile, when matching becomes more problematic...
I appreciate all of your comments, I'm just in that stage when you take care of something and put alot of work on it, little things that happend to the car pisses you off(dents, scratches etc...) I had the coupe for 8 months now so.. the smell of the new car isnt' there anymore and the mcdonalds won't last but a couple of hours in the car and it's back to "Unscented"

I will reply to your question seeing that nobody even bothered. If I were you, I wouldn't worry. Body shops can match anything these days, and if they do a good job, you wont be able to tell the difference.
If you are really concerenced, have the entire bumper replaced.
