From what you described, the paint is the least of your worries

Those bumbers under the plastic and behind the foam are high stregnth steel they require special welding tecknikes to replace.

Considering how hard she hit me...nothing cracked. A lot (and I mean a lot) of scratches down the side of the car...but the only real crack is underneath the front bumper. 2 of the 3 "air dam" things broke off. Like I said earlier I work at a Ford dealership and after they heard about my accident they put it up on the lift to check it out. It is the oil pan that's leaking...and leaking bad.
