Also, your color is notoriously hard to blend... you'll end up w/ a car that's a different shade of white in that corner if it's re-sprayed.
Also, if it was hit hard enough to buckle those quarters, the trunk floor is toast and may have to come out and have a replacement welded back in. The plastic bumpers on these things like to pop back out and make the damage look a lot better than it is. I would be very surprised if that's a $6K repair.
