Seeing as you said you have uninsured motorist coverage, then file with your insurance company ASAP. They will handle everything, and your rate should not be affected. If you have an insurance agent, just call them.

You will probably still be out the deductible amount you carry.

If the car needs body work in other areas, its a good time to get an estimate on making all repairs at once because its generally less expensive than if you go back later to get the bumper painted, etc.

BTW, never hurts to ask for the left over paint, thinned or not. If they only used half a quart, you have paid for a full quart. Its yours. Comes in handy for touch up, customizing, etc. Let them know this before they start.
