Paint

I was hit the other day, the insurance company wont cover because of some previous damage.
The stripes around the base of my car are orange and black. I have to replace the front fender, knock out the door and rear pannel. GM no longer makes the stripes what should I do. Repaint the whole car or make a mock up strip kit.( will look shitty tho)
Thanks

The fender does need replaced, I cant knock it out and putty it.

what the hell hit you? and i would probably just respray another color all the way around the bottom of the car, since the rest of the paint looks really good and it'd be pretty expensive to repaint the whole car.
