This is why I recommend buying an entire roll when wrapping your car, or having it wrapped somewhere. The color will never match since, after a year, you will get vinyl from a different batch number. Luckily I have enough on the roll at the shop to have the quarter redone. The vinyl will be removed and then, in my case, the PDR guy will show up and work his magic. Then the panel will be cleaned and the vinyl will be reapplied. Honestly nothing crazy. I was quoted $300 for the vinyl work and then another $200 for the dent. And that's the plan, I currently have the other parties insurance information so I am going to see how that goes, otherwise I may have to take them to court.

Doesn't sound bad it's actually cheaper than fixing the debt and painting the entire quaterpanel

Exactly. That was the original point of vinyl wrapping, to protect the paint. If this was on a higher end car that someone was protecting the paint on to preserve the resale value, then the only damage done would be the dent, the paint is actually unscathed underneath. Neat-o.

Cool little update. Contacted to dudes insurance agency and filed a claim. They got my story and then called him, and he admitted that the damages were his fault, so it should all be getting paid for by his insurance. Just a note, dealing with his insurance company, Geico, was super easy. I've honestly never had a better experience with an insurance agency ever. I made the call to file the claim at noon on my lunch break, and by 12:45 they already had gotten his testimony and called me back to schedule an appointment with the adjuster. Super easy.
