Matching black paint

Some SOB tried to break into my truck last night, looks like he stuck a screw driver into the bottom of the drivers door handle. Unfortunately, it bent the metal and chipped the paint, the auto door locks also now make a funny noise, something must have come loose. He didn't get the truck though!

My truck is an 03' F250 with original black paint, to fix it, it looks like the entire door needs to be painted, can a good paint shop match the paint perfectly?

Yes. Black is fairly easy to match but the clear coat will be the key. They have to match the factory orange peel but a good shop will be able to make it look good.
