Crash!

A lady backed into my car at Mcdonalds today and wrecked my hood, bumper and driver side fender...she was 100% at fault and the adjuster came and she is going to come up with an estimate for repairs...they want to just paint the bumper the hood and the fender, but I don't see how they can color match a paint that is 15 years old? Also, how much do you think they are going to give me for a job like that?

if they panel paint it... it will come out like shit....they need to blend it into the other fender... with the blend youre lookin at about a $1500 job....

thanks a lot for the reply, I was looking on the internet and found a hood and fender for around $150 each new on a car parts site..are OEM parts around there or much more? Is the quality about the same? I'm looking to maybe come out of this with a full paint job and body work with only allitle out of my pocket, I have a guy who does awesome work and works for the most expensive autobody in town who would do the full job for around $1,800 hook-up price..now what color?

that price is about right for medium quality and medium fitment. 1800 out the door for a full paint job is a good price.. (check if that includes door jambs if your changing the color). But anyway good luck
