Unless the paint job quality is bad (runs, orange peel, color differences, hazing, cracking - you get the point) I would not lose any sleep on this. For one, it wasn’t in a wreck so it won’t show up anywhere when you sell it, and they should warranty their work, but mainly I wouldn’t worry about it because these cars will depreciate due to mileage and age waaay more than your respray will affect it. These cars will never be worth much years from now - unless your willing to wait 25+ years before you sell it, then maybe it will be worth half if your lucky - but hey, that goes for all of us here.

I am OCD
I guess my main concern is that if I trade in my car in 2-3 years, any dealer (including this very dealer that did my repair) or Carmax will use a meter to see if any paint work has been done and use that to deduct from my resale value. I just don't know what that amount might be. Anyone here with appraisal experience could chime in with an estimate/range, that would be helpful.
