You can't touch up the paint and have it look perfect to every customer, that, and it's not profitable to do small spots...takes time from addressing the money-makers...

They do it by the panel because of the lack of cut-lines (seams) where the repainting can end at a clean line so as to best look like it hasn't been repainted and to be able to "hide" slight mismatches in paint hue.

Its done soley to produce a professional result and has nothing to do with trying to run up the bill as someone else suggested.

That's what I was basically alluding to - in addition to what I was saying!
