    Sounds like you were dealing with those blind panel beaters i've heard about....Click here to enlarge I personally cant see where the original body colour is and where the freshly painted region is. So for my motoring future with this car, im pretty satisfied that the smash repairs joint did a lovely job.

    trust me, car valuers know how to spot a repair, even if it is very very good

    esp if it's metallic, and esp esp if seam sealer has been used (ie replacement of a 1/4 panel)
