Many moons ago i did a repair on my car after a c*nt keyed it. I know the panels were not fully resprayed. What baffles me though is how the untouched panel looks a bit darker from those two panels. I suspect they used clay bar to match the factory paint on those panels. Any thoughts?

Agree with above 👆

Car looks like it’s been accident repaired now :/
 
See it all the time with silvers and greys. It's easy to tell which panels stand out


Seen this one before and it's a pretty shocking repair. Can you guess which panel has been painted

Please tell me those rim protectors aren't on it now they look horrendous 😫
 
Clearly the front wing and door were resprayed. Did they match the rear wing when it was first painted?
Light metallics are really difficult to match and respraying whole panels should be a last resort and should be blended in across panels - not the way this has been done.
 
Id say just the wing
