Sometimes when you get an opertunity like this (putting a positive spin on it) it gives you a chance to paint the whole front again - removing all the stone chips and the like. With the metallic and pearls it is hard to do "blow ins" without having colour differences or paint finish differences (orange peel effect). I would ask them what it would cost to do a little more while they are mixxing the paint. Thats what I did when the white Fairlane went in for some insurance work - I got the rest of the car painted while they were at it.

Yeah, small front end bingles are awesome for getting rid of the imperfections that you see on most 5 year old + cars these days.. My front end was looking nasty, so i just hit another car headon, and bam. $1200 for a completely new front end! :P
