IF YOU DO PUSH TOO HARD THEY CAN DEPRECIATE THE REPAINT OF THE DAMAGED AREA AS THEY ONLY OWE TO PUT BACK IN THE PRE DAMAGE CONDITION. THE NORM OF THAT IS 10% PER YEAR FROM BUILD DATE NOT TO EXCEED ANY WHERE FROM 50 TO 75 %. MOST COMPANIES DON'T DO THIS THANK GOODNESS FOR US.

THEY COULD ALSO DO A PRIOR DAMAGE ESTIMATE BASED ON FADED PAINT OR SCRATCHES ETC ON THE DAMAGED SIDE AND SUBTRACT THAT FROM THE DAMAGE APPRAISAL.

JUST SOME SCENARIOS THAT SOME COMPANY'S HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

ALL DEPENDS ON ATTITUDE OF THE APPRAISER AND OR ADJUSTER INVOLVED.

GOOD LUCK
