^^ I agree, 95% is good enough... if you want it perfect, it might get worse.
That's what happened back in the days with my old car, someone hit my passenger rear door & I requested a new door shell rather than fixing the old ones... Well, big mistake as the weld on the new door shell was not done properly & rust kept coming from that area. I had to go back 3-4 times to get it fixed properly. And the paint match was slightly noticeable (btw, the work was done by dealership)... Arrgggghhh!!

You might be right!
I may just leave as is.
You cannot locate the fixes unless you know exact location, even then; hard to see with naked eye.

Hail damage on new 507
A SUV or pu put a pencil eraser size ding, in quarter panel.
Mercedes wouldn't let them do a spot repair. The repaired it an painted the whole side or rear quarter. Took three tries. Paint Factory had to send tech because pinholes kept showing up.
It's black, of course. I'd ask Mercedes, which is what my insurance did.
