black Fender sources - my body shop might use a non-OEM new fender. 850 1995

My kid wacked the fender from the side. Into a large tree. I don't have collison insurance.

I stopped by my body shop. I though junk yards were so organized that he could get a used one already painted the correct color. Apparently not. The shop will probably use a clone fender. When I asked if it's galvanized - his grimace seemed to say 'no'.

Actually there is likely more damage - so a fender won't just bolt on.

What do you recommend? Is there a Volvo specialty junk yard near NYC? Are the clone parts OK - it will need to last 10 years as my car only has 78K miles. Paint is expensive - so I thought if I can bet it off a black car - I'll save.
