Also, once the paint is mixed for one panel, painting the second and third is cheaper as the paint is already 'in the gun' so to speak.

I'd go with Mike on this. Had a Sierra once that got bashed. It was a metallic and went back the the dealers for the work and it took them three attempts and a lot of hassle with the insurance company to get it right. So I wouldn't attempt it personally. Sometimes in life you pays for what you gets and if you don't get it right you will probably end up regretting it.
