I am pursuing it though the insurance company. The shop was accredited by them, however I selected the shop. The insurance co is going to get me in for an inspection but I'm not holding my breath. If that fails I will see if the shop will do anything for me, however I am skeptical.

I've painted lots of stuff but haven't tried doing a partial repair before. From what I'm seeing it might be possible to step out the paint in the repair area then reclear the whole thing. I don't really want to repaint the whole panel because then there will be a color mis-match. Anyone have any tips for me?
