Default PTM questions

Okay so since my accident yesterday I took my truck to the shop today. They said they're going to repaint the whole truck (should be just the bed panel/bumper/tailgate but they said they'll just do the whole thing. So I want to PTM my flares, door handles, and bed rails. Any advice on doing it? What kind of paint matches the stock black color? I get the truck back Friday so I have all weekend if it takes time.

Thanks yall, ps they gave me a charger as a rental car. great car but nothing compares to the mighty f150

Find a shop that will do the work for less then the insurance quote. Then roll the remaining amount of the quote in on the additional paint work. Add cash if necessary.
Sometimes if you just take the repair check from the insurance company, and don't show the shop the insurance repair quote, you can score better deals... Insurance company's tend to low ball. So have the damage inspected by a couple of body shops and make sure the insurance check has the sufficient funds necessary for the repairs. Do this before you cash the original insurance check.
