Major bummer, sorry. Regarding your paint, I have some great pals who own high end restoration shops, cover of car craft kind of stuff, I have learned with these guys the bad news...your paint will most likey not match.
your paint is 34? years old and faded over time, body shop can't match faded paint, what is sprayed today could fade, so to speak, differently.
Your paint is now longer made, probably Laq or single stage enamel , today's paint is base coat/ clear coat. you can still paint single stage but cannaot blend, you would have to paint a panel to door jams and pic a spot at the roof line.
Have them repaint the car...they will not win the argument.

A proffessional classic car appraisor is worth the call if you have to fight the insurance company over total repaint. if so interview his knowlage before you hire them to got the right one, dont assume he knows his stuff. should be about 200.00 for a certifed appraisal.

Good luck with everything,
Daniel
