Stefan,

I imagine that if you get many responses to this that they will cover all the options (I am sure that Mike T. will tell you not to waste your money :) )

If it was my car I would certainly not think twice if the money was available and I was going to keep the car. If I was buying a car, I would prefer to see the damage and the original paint than to wonder what was hiding under a fresh paint job - that is just me though. I know that many people are dazzled by shiny paint and would prefer to buy as such.
