Correct and yes it does need a new paintjob if you saw it upclose.

Honestly, if you hadn't made the comment on your original post, I probably wouldn't have even noticed. It may be more noticeable in real life though. Still looks pretty good. I'll take my steak dinner now.

Actually none of my paint matches right. We took a t-top down and the nose matches that but not the fron clip. Maybe well have to take the whole car to get it matched right. But for right now it's good enough.
