Dumb question mac but I have to ask it. Where is your damage and what body parts are we talking about? I had my PT in a hail storm and when the insurance company looked at the car they wrote up an estimate that included a lot of body work. On my own I took the car to Dent Wizards and they got out 27 hail dents at a fraction of the cost and I was able to keep my original paint. You might want to check out one of the paintless dent removal guys, they may be able to save you a lot of heart ache.
Good luck - Pat
