Who's doing the powder work for you? I'm in SLC as well and do powder coating.

Accidents don't devalue cars as much as people think.

interesting story....but if to go private sale the fact that there has been a previous accident will shy potential buyers away. So indirectly I think it does impact the price & the length of time it would take to sell the vehicle, my 2 cents.

I am amazed the old man was kind enough to come up to you

Sucks, but glad it didn't get "totaled".

I think something very similar happened to my car during a previous ownership because both of my driver side door skins as well as a few misc parts have been replaced and the whole side of the car has been repainted.

I took the car to Schneider Auto. They're arranging the powdercoat, but I'm not sure who's doing the work for them.

If you'd like to PM me a quote, I'll compare it to what Schneider quoted me. Also, the other three wheels will need to be sand blasted to the crap paint off.

That's about right. The bumper was bent a little and a little piece of plastic on the front corner got broken. They just don't make them like they used to.
