Minor accident. (Admin can you please delete as I posted this in the wrong place)

I usually park my truck on my driveway. I sprayed it with fluid film few days ago and had to park it on the street in case it dripped so it won’t stain the driveway. Sure enough the school bus came and caused some damage rear end of driver side.
Waiting on insurance before taking it to a body shop. Do you guys think that the whole bedside need to be painted? There is some damage to the bumper and also superficial scuff marks over the flare that I think they can easily buffed.

 

Paint the entire side of the truck to blend properly.

 

...kidding. I had something similar happen to mine years ago not long after I purchased it new. Almost same area as yours, but a little further forward by the TRD OR decal and a much larger dent/crunch. They ended up replacing the whole bedside panel and fender flare. Assuming the school bus insurance is paying for this I wouldn't really be overly concerned about it as a reputable body shop will do what's best for the truck and not cutting corners with the repair. I will add, now would be a good opportunity to get a color matched bumper (unless you prefer the chrome).

Side note, your thread might be better suited and get more hits in the 2nd Gen Tacoma Discussion forum instead of the 2nd Gen Marketplace here.

 

oops I didn’t realize
