Default Should I repaint the entire car?

Because of a fender bender, I am getting my 2001 electric green mustang repainted. Hood, passenger fender and door, front bumper. The roof, rear fenders, driver fender and door have several ugly chips and scratches as well. It's my daily driver and I don't have a garage to keep it in (yet). I don't plan to show it. But I will drive it until it falls off the road.

Should I go ahead and get the entire car repainted?

It seems like just breathing on the car leaves a blemish. Is your paint job this tender, too?

No my paint job is not. But I do keep mine garaged. I think that I would just paint what needed to be resprayed. If you are not planning on showing it and it is just a daily driver that is what I would do. However the paint may not match up.
