Hit and run by the snow plow

So got some news from the inssurance... It's gonna cost 2800$ to fix the truck... But the think i'm a little afraid, they gonna fix all the drive side of the truck with a new paint, but the other side will be on the original paint... i'm pretty sure i'm going to see the differnce between the paints... Do you think they gonna repaint all the truck or what?

I had something similar with my truck. my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) smashed up the front end of my 04 blazer. i thought for sure they were going to total it, but i lucked out and they fixed it. they only paint what they have to. depending on the shop and painter that does it, you'll never be able to notice. good luck with getting your truck fixed.

Oh man that sucks... But most shops will let you pay the extra to do the whole thing. I knew a guy that got hail damage on a new car, and when they repainted it, they allowed him to pay an extra couple hundred bucks to use that fancy pearl stuff in the topcoat, and charcoal metallic basecoat instead of black just so it looked a little different than the black ones. So if you ever wanted to change the color a little, or add more metal flakes, pay and get the whole things done.
Also, the bodyshops have good technology for color matching, and they will probably cut polish the other side and you will never know the difference, the difference will be the texture, machine spray and human spray just looks different...
