sort of like a faq on how much it will cost to repair once broke?

As for the paint, the official supplier is
Standox in Plymouth (MI) 

(734) 454-4556 
(734) 454-4983 (fax)

If you call them, they will give the name of the nearest dealer to you that
carries the paint. I tried to get the mixing codes from them, but they
refused. But, they are the official source per Triumph USA

Wow - that really sucks -

I think you now have the honor of being the first on the list to drop the
ST - but I'm not sure if a 0 MPH off really counts....

The positive note is that no one was coming around the corner and that
nobody was hurt. A friend of mine had a 60 mph off through the same type of
rock - crushed granite - spent 6 hours in surgery having the bits of stone
and denim (not wearing his leathers) removed from his legs......

Sorry to hear about the baby, but am glad to hear that you're ok. 

Are you going to be replacing the panels? If so, please email me off list ...
