Just caught the follow up on this thread. Don't recall getting any alerts on this after watching.
. So glad you found someone competent. That's the hardest part. And
@stonewall is correct, they have imperfections (plenty) right from the factory. My brand new RE has little woops all over, especially where they bend the metal on the quarters' to curl around by the door jamb. Most guys don't notice these. There's plenty all around the car. If anyone brought their car to a body shop for a real professional, show quality paint job you'd be
amazed how much bondo (or thick fill-able primer) goes on the whole undamaged car. They COVER it, then shave it off with long boards. The whole car is covered in a sheet of paper thin almost see through bondo. Some spots not so thin. Then when paint goes on, you see glass and laser strait panels. It's amazing the difference.
Panel looks great!
Happy for you.
