Deer Collision / 2010 Civic LX Sedan

[LRV]

Back in April, I hit a deer. I had to replace my hood, and in doing so, they blended the hood to the fenders. Last night, I hit another deer. This time, the deer impacted the right side of my front bumper and slid across the hood, damaging the hood. The bumper and hood will need to be replaced.

First and foremost, because the fenders were just blended in April, do they need to be blended again for another replacement hood? Granted, it's not much damage, but it's a couple dings and it separated away from the vehicle a bit.

Secondly, do the fenders need to be blended to the new bumper cover? I can find pre-painted bumper covers on eBay all day long, but I'm not going with them if my bumper has to be blended to the fenders.

Why don't you ask the body shop?

Yes, it all needs to be blended again. You do understand why they do that right? There is no way to get paint to mix the same every time so unless you are painting the whole car, it needs to be blended.
