Rocker Panel Damage - Opinions on Repair

I sustained a significant rash with deep scratches to my passenger side rocker panel. This also includes damage to the M side skirt extensions.

Like most here, I want this repaired perfectly. It's Mineral Grey, and located in an inconspicuous area. Regarding the rocker panel, I see 3 options and wanted opinions:
  1. Have local body shop repair the piece
  2. Purchase new OEM piece and let someone like iND paint it
  3. Find a used Mineral Grey piece online (eBay, etc.)

Considering the color and panel location, I'm leaning toward just letting a local shop handle it. Having a brand new piece completely painted sounds appealing, but I'm concerned that any subtle mismatch (against rest of car) will be more noticable.

I appreciate any feedback.
