The insurance will only put you back to how you were before the damage, not
new. I can't really see any way you could get your whole car painted unless
you could prove (good luck) to the insurance company that the shop will be
unable to match the existing color. You can certainly insist that they use
o.e. parts but beyond that I don't think you'll have much luck.
