Got A Small Scratch On My Right Side Panel...

[Modena]

2 weeks ago i got a small (3 cm in length and 1 cm in width) scratch on my right hand side panel just before the driver door... the truck opened a door and scratched it, all in a tight loading bay. they owned up to it and long story short I got offered 400 bucks cash for the damages, the thing is i got quoted 600 bucks to fix it at panel beaters. this is due to them painting the bonnet to blend the colour etc.

now one guy agreed to just paint the actual scratched panel and also a scratched (not related) mirror... he said we can get away with not painting/blending the bonnet as i wont be able to tell the difference... he said if someone else paid for it then he would paint the bonnet but since im only paying 400 bucks hell just do the panel itself with a mirror.

do u think itll turn out good or should i also paint the whole bonnet?

I'm no panel beater but I'm thinking metallic will make any work more obvious. Under some light the panels will match perfectly, under others they'll look different - well that's what happened to my maroon R33 when a panel beater painted the rear bar without blending anyway.
