Need to paint panel

Need to paint panel on black 2018 GLE. I’m nervous the paint won’t match the rest of the car. Has anyone has success with this? Do you recommend I take it to a paint shop or to dealer for the best job?

Any words of wisdom on how to protect my paint going forward? I live in NYC. Thank you.

Have heard good things about Gotham collision center .

Also you can have Detailing Dynamics look at your car and ask them if they could guide you to a body shop. DD are a high end detailing shop and they definitely know who paints the best.

I had a black 1967 Rebel 550 that was my last show car several year back.It was painted Mercedes black. I started to use Black Pearl #4 polish. I have found that it really micro cleans the clear coat leaving a nicer reflection. Then after a deep polish just use your favorite sealer or wax.
