Back in business
You guys may remember my original thread where a guy with a bike rack did a number on my 2k mile 2023 E63S
https://mbworld.org/forums/w213-amg/...lue-claim.html
I had to go out of state to get it repaired as the shops locally weren't convinced they could get the matte paint done right. They wanted to repaint the whole side or the whole car. The shop I took it to, only painted the rear quarter and bumper and it matches perfectly from all sides and all angles. I'm like 99% happy with the whole work and that's because I'm very **** and saw a small panel gap (more than I think) it should have where rear bumper, quarter and tail light meet up. I asked 3 other friends if they could see anything and none of them did. Anyways, if anyone is looking for a shop that does good work with matte I'd recommend Ken Garff Mercedes in Salt Lake City, UT. Next step is going after his insurance for diminished value.

Was the rear door painted or feathered?
overall looks good, glad you don't have to see the ugliness of the damage anymore. That's a huge step forward. As Ronin once said, we don't own these cars, they own us.

They didn’t touch the rear door at all. Just quarter panel and rear bumper. Trunk was saved by ppf

Must be lighting ... looks like a fabulous job and seems like it you're giving it a 99%
