2004 CL500 hit by deer

My dad was on our street and deer jumped out and hit the right side of his car last night. The damage is not noticible in the dark but once the light hits it, its really bad its like a spider crack. We dont want to have it repainted cause it will kill its value. Will the insurance buy the car back or ne thing like that?

My Black Opal CL was hit by road debris in the driver's door. The six inch scratch was repaired by repainting the lower portion of the door and you'd never know it. You just need to find a good repair shop.
