For a future collecter car it is a "diminished value" in my eyes
I had a scratch repaired on the rear quarter of a high end car. To do it right, they took off the door, removed the rear quarter glass and all trim. The entire quarter was refinished matching the factory orange peel. It was like it never happened. Color match was no problem. Having no blend or masking lines takes tallent. Cost $2000.
