Anyone had bodywork/repaint on a Pearl White model 3?

Unfortunately I was side swiped on the freeway recently and have some body damage. I'm wondering how difficult it is for the body shop to match/blend the pearl white paint?

The guy that hit me told his insurance company that he doesn't know anything about it. His insurance company was a bit surprised to see it all on TeslaCam.

Any suggestions prior to dropping off? I was thinking I'd put it in chill mode and creep mode on. Probably not a good idea to put in valet mode. I figured I'd leave the USB stick in, although there is a chance it may go missing, could be interesting to see what it captures.

I too have ordered a pearl white M3, with reservations, because my last car was a pearl white Subaru.
When I was scraped in a carpark the bodyshop had to respray the entire side of the car as matching the colour is nearly impossible. It cost over $2K just to repair a scrape on one door panel!

i have a pearl white and recently just got my car off the body shop, they claim they did have to do 36 inches of paint blending instead of 18inches due to the color.

I've had the same with other colors, so I think that's normal.

Thanks, so how does it look?
