I got hit in almost the same spot (rear door, rear fender) about 6 yrs ago. Lost all the Mazda stickers that you would normally find on the rear door.

Good job! definitely saved yourself a lot of money, getting hit around that area sucks cuz even if its small, you get hit around the right spot and its the door the rear fender and sometimes the whole back wheel along with axle rotors brakes, etc. Most of the time insurance would have required all that if your fully covered. even if the wheel barley got scaved. You lucked out man good thing u didnt get hurt.

Perhaps it's the picture, but this looks lumpy and has plenty of orange peel.

That's kind of what mine needs other passenger side where a kid keyed the back door into the front door. Not as bad as what you had to deal with, but VRM isn't cheap either.
