Rear quarter panel repair

Well, I'm pretty f-in pissed about this. My car was parked at work, all by it's self and some douche in a GIANT F250 Harley Davidson edition decided to try and act cool and pull out of his spot beside me too fast. The tool bag ended up cutting the turn too sharp and his fat tire hit my right rear quarter panel and f-ed my s#it up. When I got the estimate on the repairs, the dude quoted me for like $4250. $2200 for parts and then the rest for replicated the Montego Blue paint job to the best of his ability. Good thing the dudes insurance is gonna cover it.

Here are some pics:
Left some rubber marks and a little bit of denting.

Similar thing happened to me about a month ago. Except it was a hit and run. Destroyed the passenger side quarter panel, just about in the same spot as yours. Unfortunately, I only have liability on the car. Its being repaired right now. Ill probably just end up stripping the whole car and getting it repainted instead of trying to match it.

Yeah repainting my biggest concern right now. Montego Blue is a pretty unique color and i don't think they'd be able to replicate it to match the original. That's why I'm debating on having them repaint the whole car, but i don't know.
Either way, the guys insurance is gonna get a hefty bill. The first guy who appraised the damage quoted it at $4200 for parts and labor. That's kind of ridiculous but whatever.
