I would let them fix it. But come on a accident what kind of body shop is this? A accident happens the first time. Is this the first time they ever installed a truck bed? Do they not have any big thick blankets for assembly work? You know the kind you need to lay in the painted floor board to protect the rocker panels while assembling the doors and interior, to lay on the tailgate and/or in the bed while walking in it to do something to the roof, to lay on the cowl/front fenders to install the windshield, cowl panel, hood hinges, hood. Any good shop has done this kind of damage but that was 10 or 15 years ago when they didn't know better. They should know all the tricks of the trade if that's the trade they make a living at. Also masking tape is your assembly friend use several layers any time there is a chance to damage the paint. Tape off the front fender bottoms when installing the front bumper. Tape the top of the doors inside and out when installing the door glass. Tape off any thing you don't want damaged and just leave the small area that you are working on exposed like when installing the door latch plates on the cab your only working on approx. a 3" x 5" area hold the latch up there to judge and tape off the rest or you will get one bolt installed and bump it to make it swing and have a huge scratch in those beautiful door jams. Buy good tape 3M brand so the adheasive will come off with the tape. Tape is cheap alot cheaper than a scratch.
