New panels from the factory aren't paint matched. They're bare metal and the matching is up to the integrity of the shop doing the work. A good pdr man can honestly do incredible work. Your insurance company may go with your wishes when there is a toss up as to which direction to go but if one method is noticeably cheaper than the other, they will only pay the cheaper. That doesn't mean you can't still get what you want if you're willing to pay the difference. If you have some dents that have cracked the paint that panel will have to be repainted, again by the body shop, hopefully of your choice. Do some research. Just because a dealership might have a body shop doesn't mean they're any good.
