Whoa Whoa Whoa there..... "Repaint the whole back of car so the color will match"????????????????????????????????

 

Absolute insanity, and this is from a fellow who's a classic car collector and Concours veteran...

First off, sh** happens, and there's no way you can "un-do" what's been done.

NOW, the main goal here is to minimize the damage... You want to repair it the best that can be done, but at the same time, you want to isolate the work to the minimum amount of the car possible...

Just get the bumper cover repaired and resprayed. Period. If you allow them to spray all over the back of your car, the NEGATIVES WILL OUTWEIGHT THE POSITIVES...

There is no godly reason why they can't get the silver to match so close, nobody will ever know except maybe you... That beats the hell out of overspray all over your car, mask-lines, and future adhesion and durability issues that you can never predict until they happen.

If your paint shop doesn't know how to use a tint-kit, or does not have the equipment for doing a digital-match against your fuel lid, then find another...

Respraying the entire back of the car would be tantamount to redecorating an entire room in your house.... just because your cat pee'd on the rug...
