Default First Wax After Rearended(Pics)

Here are a couple of pics I took this morning. Just put first coat of wax on after collision repair 8 weeks ago.
Nothing but a wash & Mother's Carnauba Wax.

Default looks great

From the pics it looks great. Maybe a slight change of tone from the rear quarter to the rear cover on the drivers side.

I have the same AO color, an 08 coupe. The top is a little dull IMO compared to the rest of the paint. From your repair experience in the AO, should I ask GM to repaint?

Thanks.

Why don't you bring it to a detailer and have them buff it out? Or better yet get a PC 7424 and DIY.
BTW the rear fascia matches perfectly. Originally the nose and rear were slightly off color. Now it's just the nose.

AO looks fantastic, so much better than that Sunset Orange Nissan is peddling on it's Z's.

good body shop, id even say great body shop. 56 day should be safe enough to wax, if you wax any earlier it can make the paint hazy..

i would feel good about that vette its very sharp..

Looks like new to me. IMO the color variations are due to the lighting as it looks different in the first pics but the same in the last.
