Tell this to the Porsche guys. That is probably the level at which it's night and day. Hit = not desirable.

What I find about body work that is mind boggling, is that when you look at a repair, when a panel is sparkling clean, in sunlight, AND at an angle, you see the repair in almost every case. The texture does not match the factory.
