Hmmmmm........it doesn't look that bad to me, from the photos. Looks like all the damage is at or below the body line, not into the C pillar of the roof. $48 an hour? Out where I am, it's $100-$120 per hour for this type of work. I agree that blending the Verdoro will be a challenge.....the whole car may need painting. Keep in mind, you need the car in 'pre-accident condition', period. You didn't do anything wrong here, so you don't have to settle for a sub-par job. It's the insurance company's duty to fix it right, and IME, insurance companies are all about saving as much money as they can. Don't let them cut corners on you. Good luck.
