You pay for the quality. Some people don't notice it, some people will. Like in my case, I found a repairer who was willing to fix my door for $1900. I figured, excess cost more than that, and I don't want a premium rise (which happens anyway cos insurance companies are run by vampires after our blood money), so I had it fixed. Very nice job, I could hardly tell the difference (slightly lighter graphite colour as compared to the others, but was well blended in, and only tell under direct sunlight). I was happy. Then, one day(about 2 months later), I got a scratch in it (typical bitch parks in carpark next to you and opens door with all the force she's got). I decide to use wax on it, only to find the wax is eating away at the paint. Now the mark is very noticeable. Went to Honda this time to get it fixed (they only charged 200 this time as it was just a paint over or something). Tried waxing it a week after the repaint and no problems.
