My wife was involved in a minor accident and has some gouges and scraps to the front end of her RT, namely the nose, the lower front left wing, the fender and a big gouge to the lower wing also.

The insurance adjuster is saying it can be painted and look like new. I'm saying the paint is part of the plastic molding process (embedded) in the plastic; which I want the parts replaced to ensure long term and proper wear.

Can such damage be re-painted at a body shop? Or do the parts need to be replaced due to the paint being ionized or something in the plastic??

Any help would be appreciated.
