Just caught the follow up on this thread. Don't recall getting any alerts on this after watching.:unsure:. So glad you found someone competent. That's the hardest part. And @stonewall is correct, they have imperfections (plenty) right from the factory. My brand new RE has little woops all over, especially where they bend the metal on the quarters' to curl around by the door jamb. Most guys don't notice these. There's plenty all around the car. If anyone brought their car to a body shop for a real professional, show quality paint job you'd be amazed how much bondo (or thick fill-able primer) goes on the whole undamaged car. They COVER it, then shave it off with long boards. The whole car is covered in a sheet of paper thin almost see through bondo. Some spots not so thin. Then when paint goes on, you see glass and laser strait panels. It's amazing the difference.
Panel looks great!(y) Happy for you.
Yeah don’t ever scrutinize your roof rails or pillars. Dips and bumps all over a lot of challengers I’ve seen. Mine included.

Congrats on the spectacular out come. Proof that some times quality work is not as much as one would expect. Just think of cost to repair with a repaint. Home run hit !

Does anybody know the color code for the devil's rim wheel paint? I just put a tiny curb scuff in my rear passenger wheel that I don't think is bad enough to need sanding down, but a small amount of paint came off.

I called the FCA dealer I ordered the car from but they only have body touch up colors

I used some matte black Krylon outdoor paint. I sprayed a little on a Q-Tip and then just touched it to the spot. Can't tell it's there unless you get right down on top of it and are looking for it.
