It seems to me that they should pay the cost of the repairs (again) because
they performed the work incorrectly in the first place. Additionally, you
may want to look into having your insurance company pay to have the truck
repainted... If you've got a low deductable that is. Sorry to hear that
you're getting screwed.
Oh, and weren't you trying to sell this truck not too long ago? I thought
you said there weren't any paint imperfections...
