what will be cheaper?
what will be cheaper? i have some dents and crinkles on both my right and left rear quarter panels. a couple of small areas have dents that cracked the paint so i dont think paintless dent repair will help it much.
my question is, will it be cheaper to replace the panels, or to take it to a shop and let them sand, straighten, and do the whole paint process?
what worries me about the paint shop though is that i always see posts on here saying that the aftermarket red paint didnt match up well with the stock paint. i dont want my car looking like ****. so im leaning towards just buying two panels and having them put on the car.

No question, its a horrible idea to try and have a body shop replace perfectly good rear 1/4's, not only will the shop have to do a perfect job to make them look factory, it also costs a lot more, and your not going to get around paint fade by replacing the panel.
Defiantly have them re-work your rear 1/4's...
Your painter will blend the paint, and depending on his skill level, you shouldn't be able to see it with the naked eye.
