The middle picture shows the paint difference, at least to me. Follow a line from the top of the passenger windows along the rear hatch line(which wasn't repainted) to the tail light and you will see the difference in the colors.

Sorry to hear about that.

Hope all goes well with the body shop. I'd tear them a new ..

Good luck.

Stop payment immediately!

If you have to: Contact a lawyer!

That is upsetting, that is piss poor work!

Yes, this dealer has many franchises including Nissan and this is his body shop.

It looks like the body shop was trying to BLEND the new paint into the old paint. It also appears that the painter did a poor job using the technique of BLENDING. This is a common practice of body shops when repairing body damage since insurance companies will not pay for a complete (panel - door - fender - etc.) paint job. The bad part about this kind of a repair is, if you polish and wax your car repeatedly like what we do. The repaired area tends to begin to stand out the more we polish and wax.
