Yes looks great now and Just like I said 10 or 15 years later the paint fades at different rates and you can then tell it has been repaired. Some times the body shops will blend the paint all the way up to the ends of the car so they can minimize this effect years later.. Essentially putting the blended areas in parts of the car that are harder to realize that it has been blended.. In the collector car world original paint is way more desireable. A ZL1 is a potential collector car
