Because its a new car they should have no problems matching the paint. Just because its a Honda Dealer does not always mean they have the best painters or body guys. In my area we have several mom and pop body shops which do excellent work which I would not hesitate to take my car to. You may want to ask State Farm about deminished value. This is what they give over the repair for the deminished value of your car because it was in a wreck. Not sure if this would qualify but it does not hurt to ask.

Well, the only body shop I would have considered taking it to closed down a few years ago. Everyone I've known who's dealt with this Honda dealership has given them great reviews.
I just got back from taking the car in. The cost of the repairs... drum roll please... is $5056. Cha Ching! They said it won't be ready until Dec. 5th. That means 3 weeks of driving my husband's crappy truck. Sigh...
