Sorry for lack of response...but I would think most folks with that much damage would just try and have their insurance company total the car. It'll never be the same.

Mine is getting repaired as we speak!!

I had a CL600 in the past that had some minor bodywork and it turned out great.

It certainly would be nice if that was an option. But its not... Unless there is 70% damage. An Insurance company has ZERO "obligation" to total the car, even if the consumer demands they do so..

So yes, there are MANY repaired AMG's out there. Probably 30-40% have had some type of paint repair done to them. Just look for a good shop who will do the jop right the first time..
