Post subject:  got backed into today.

So I was working on my truck and had the kj parked along the street. I then heard a bang and realized my neighbor had backed into my jeep. She had hit the left passenger door and put a couple good dents in it. Smashed her tail light. My quarrel is my paint is pretty worn and swirled and if they fix the door and paint it it would stick out like a sore thumb. I really thought of either asking for a paint job if they will or taking the money and putting it towards a chip. Any thoughts? I'm not a fan of having dents but I can fix it fairly cheap myself pretty sure.

A body shop can get rid of a LOT of swirly stuff and any good one would blend adjacent panels and re-clear everything after a paint repair. It all kinda comes down to how much you want it to be right and how much you like your neighbor. Also, did you get photos or a police report?

Photos were taken and she is calling the insurance company in the morning as USAA's claim office isn't open tonight.... figures. No police report was made. Anyhow she stopped by a few minutes ago to make sure she had my information correct and let me know about the call for the morning. I'm not in it to screw my neighbor but i wouldn't mind making things a little better than they were before.
