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.
