Is anyone on CP in the automotive insurance industry?

Sorry to make this thread, but I knew if I posted this in my cutlass thread not everyone would see it. Anyways, if you are in the insurance (automotive specifically) side of business, I would like to ask you a question.

My car got keyed. The body shop came back with an estimate and told me they will most likely salvage the car out. I can either take the money and let it be salvaged (Will not happen) or I can take their money, buy the car back with a salvage title and then pay the difference for it to be painted.

My question is; would I be able to accept under what they offer, then not get the salvage title and pay the extra to get it painted?

I am not willing to part with the car, and this place that estimated it does immaculate body and paint work, and they are cutting me a heck of a deal do to our business relationship, and they are just trying to help me out a little bit. So if I take it from them, I will never get a paint job of that quality for that price, so I don't want to do that. I would love not to have to get a salvage title and deal with that mess.
