They filled the dent, basecoated the area and blended, and then sanded and re-cleared the entire roof. Did a pretty shitty job on masking, I've been removing overspray from windows and trim for 2 hours. But matched well. Clearcoar application was just "ok" there are a few spots where dust or something got trapped in it and a section that looks a little wavy from certain angles, but nothing earthshattering or worth re-doing. If you looked *really* closely and knew what to look for you could probably tell it was resprayed but to a casual observer it probably looks like stock paint. Was little over 1k to fix, there was zero chance of PDR repair due to size and depth.
To OP I wouldnt worry about the match, they are capable of getting it right and it's prob easier on newer paint, mine is 18mos old already.

That's great. It's amazing what body shops can do these days with paint matching.
