Auto body repair & detailing: Painting/blending on brand new auto, metallic paints, toyota tunda

Question
I just purchased a new 2006 Toyota Tunda.  (Yay!)  Sadly, within 600 miles, I had sustained some damage to the right front door. (Sob!) The damage consists of some slight denting and partial removal of the "Tundra" emblem, and repair shops believe that the damage is localized to just the door skin (i.e. there is no damage to the structural beam beneath the skin).  The suggested fix is to replace the door skin and do a paint blending on the right front fender and the right rear door (this is a 4 door model).  I am wondering if the blending is really necessary and am concerned about the durability of the blended paint on the two adjacent panels, since this is essentially applied over lightly sanded clear coat on the undamaged panels.  The reasoning from the repair shops I've been to is that even with a brand new paint job (the car is new), the metallic paints (this is the green "mica" finish) can look different on a re-paint job when viewed from different angles.  

Obviously my desire is that this repair job make the car look brand new (like it did a month ago).  Can you put my mind at ease about this approach, or do you think that the blending is not necessary?  Thanks much.

Answer
Well they could check the color match first to see if maybe they may be able to luck out and get a good color match. But more than likly a blend is the only way to make it look new. Make sure they take off all the hardware like emblems, door handles, mouldings,mirror, etc. Then as long as it is scuffed properly it will be just like new.
