They are paying for it all, I sent them the quote for the dealer's shop work to cut out the dent and replace it with new sheet metal. I'm wondering if the dent could be pulled instead of cut, and if so, I would have more money to spend on my car this way. I could live with a wavy panel if it would leave me more money for my car, I'm not sure that the dealer bodyshop could make it appear as if the dent never happened, even though 20 hours plus of refinishing could perhaps do it.
