Don't let the insurance company screw you if you go that route.
FYI - It's not a matter of getting screwed by your insurance company because they don't owe to fix rock chips on a bumper(i.e. extra prep work), just the related repair. Unless the shop feels generous or you pay extra, don't expect an insurance company to pay for any unrelated damage.
