Has anyone had to replace and paint the front right fender?

Agree that it's a good sign. It means that they don't have a drive-in adjustment center or adjusters under contract in the area. They will deal directly with the body shop. Once the body shop gives them a multi-thousand dollar estimate, they might hold up the repair to send an adjuster to see it, but any dispute will be between the insurance co and the body shop.
