An extremely true statement. In this case a lot of the times the average person assumes its good because its the same colour, and seems fine. They didn't look for the paint runs, multiple fisheyes, bad bondo work, or the lack of shine that area has. If you want your car to look like nothing happened, you have to be anal with the details.
I work with fleet cars and my last position was inspecting our cars for damage or bad body work for resale. We use inexpensive shops and that means a lot of stuff must get redone. Even when we hired some of the more expensive shops, some with brand names...same problems. I could tell lots of stories about screwed up work, my favourite though is a 2014 Genesis sedan. Apparently had 3 of our bodyshops work on it...all needed to be redone, but first, we send it to another shop for rear bumper work because it was cracked...when it returns it needed to be redone because the paint work was really bad...totaling 4 redos by 4 different shops.
